I was having the same issues as everyone on this thread and found a solution:
1) Installed windows 2) installed atheros wireless network drive 3) Installed the energy management applicattion. 4) Hit Fn+F5 5) The wirelles wi-fi and bluetooth was turned OFF. I turned it ON. 6) Reboot on Linux. The step 5) made wi-fi and bluetooth becomes avaiable under ubuntu and other distros I was having trouble (fedora has the same issue) 7) The wirelless hard-switch are functional and can be used with no problems. I guess the management application is changing some bios configuration under windows and reflecting it on Linux where we dont have a way to FIX. I left a windows partition in case I need to change this for some reason.
