Weird..

So it says 'Attansic' on the ethernet only after rfkill is
re-enabled?  The 0xff revision on wifi makes slightly
more sense, if it's some issue like broken PCI config space
reads.

IIRC rfkill switch on those platforms cuts the bus power; I don't
think ath5k participates specifically.  I assume the
eepc-laptop driver is loaded?
