Public bug reported:

was running oneiric for a month or two. did upgrade on 2011/09/27. Prior
to that date was working fine.  Now It works for a few minutes after
boot, but after a short time, network-manager has wireless grayed out
disabled.  It says "wireless disabled by hardware switch".  rfkill list
says "hard blocked: yes" This laptop has no switch.  no work-around I
can see, using a patch cable for now.

It's an ath9k driver, on a gateway LT3201 (AMD Nile chipset)
