Hi,
i have an asus laptop with following atheros wireless adapter:
03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
Subsystem: AzureWave AW-NB037H 802.11bgn Wireless Half-size Mini PCIe Card [AR9002WB-1NGCD]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at ddc00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
Capabilities: [60] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting
Capabilities: [140] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [160] Device Serial Number 00-15-17-ff-ff-24-14-12
Capabilities: [170] Power Budgeting <?>
Kernel driver in use: ath9k
Kernel modules: ath9k
during latop startup the "wireless" led is turned off, kernel with udev load ath9k module

but the wpa_supplicant daemon finally can't establish link with accesspoint (reports rf-kill? error).
manual wireless enabling (Fn key + F2 key) fixes wpa_supplicant problems.
it looks like the ath9k module doesn't enable some hardware parts on system startup / laptop resume.
i've tested this issue with 3.1.2 and 3.2.0-rc3 git kernel sources.
BR,
Paweł.
