Package: base
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The wireless card simply stops working. Trying to activate it from the network manager gives the "hardware 
disabled" message.
When it happens, restarting is the only option I found so far. 
Already tried to set the device up with ifconfig, and it returns a error about RFkill. Installed RFkill
and it shows the card hard blocked. Trying to unblock with rfkill is useless, and the physical swich can only
disable the card (pressing it once turns it off when is working, but never turns it on again)
The card, listed with lspci is described as:
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
I'm using a Acer Aspire One D250, with the standard buit-in wireless card.
It used to work fine on squeeze. 

sorry for any inconvenience

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
