I have a fresh install of Wheezy on my new laptop, and noticed that my Wi-Fi
adapter doesn't work. I turned on and off several times the wireless switch on
the laptop's keyboard - no effect. Issued rfkill list command shows that the
switch does not do anything: phy0 is soft and hard blocked too at all time (the
hp-wifi Wireless LAN on the other way is stucked soft - yes, hard - no state).
I have Windows installed on a different partition, haven't experienced any
problem with the adapter.
The device is showing at lspci list:
....
03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network
Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
....
and the ath9k module are present:
lsmod:
....
mac80211 183047 1 ath9k
ath9k_common 12682 1 ath9k
ath9k_hw 281405 2 ath9k,ath9k_common
....
I have a wireless usb adapter - SMCWUSB-G type - and with the installation of
the appropriate package (zd1211) from the repo it had worked perfectly -
network manager and all that.
Anyway, this is my first use of reportbug, so please excuse me, if i forget
something to add.
