Bug Description
Hello,
this bug concerns my HP G60-468CA laptop. Since testing maverick amd64, the wireless button switch stays orange and refuses to turn blue to activate, and the wireless acess is greyed out on both gnome and KDE (Ubuntu and Kubuntu respectively) running on the latest 2.6.35 kernel. Installing the latest mainline kernal hangs on boot for all GRUB options (2.6.36-rc4) and renders sytem unusable.
All terminal configs failed to make this work (lspci and modprobe say that ath9k is in use and hardware is running and present...
Lucid lynx worked flawlessly.. I even popped the wireless hatch open to manually remove the wireless card and verify output again...
Please help!
(It might be a duplicate since the report failed on timeout on my last attempt to submit)
Output:

Your ath9k driver looks like its functioning normally. What I did notice is that your rfkill state is wireless blocked. There were some changes from Lucid to Maverick in the HP platform driver which is where rfkill state is maintained. You might be able to re-enable wireless functionality from the command line using:
sudo rfkill unblock all
Alternatively, there is likely a key or switch on your laptop that controls rfkill state.
