I've got the same issue on my 900A, though I've never ever been able
to successfully switch the card on with linux > 2.6.26.
linux-image-2.6.30-1-686 2.6.30-5
eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.1.1
If I boot with wifi on, it is OK, ath5k loads fine and the wifi works.
Switching wifi off for the first time:

Switching on doesn't seem to do anything. Forcing the interface down
(ifdown --force) kills running wpa_supplicant etc. Afterwards, trying to
bring it up results in this:

During that time:

Doing this over and over again, I get always the same results, only the
order of messages in syslog is a bit different sometimes. (Sometimes
wpa_supplicant complains first, sometimes it is ath5k.)
There's no reference to ath5k or madwifi in /etc/modprobe.d/,
