Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

        I dont know exactly the causes
        Sometimes when I connect to my home network by example          (wlan)
after I turn off my notebook so when I turn on the notebook in other place and
connect to another (in my school by example) it happen.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

        I have tried

        rfkill unblock all


        sometimes combinations of this sequence as appropiate
         service networking stop/start


         service network-manager stop/start


         /etc/init.d/network-manager stop/start

         ifconfig wlan0 down/up

         iwconfig wlan0 txpower auto/off

         rmmod ath5k

         modprobe ath5k

   * What was the outcome of this action?

        with rfkill      nothing happen, it remains
        0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes

        with

        service networking stop/start

        service network-manager stop/start

        /etc/init.d/network-manager stop/start

         ifconfig wlan0 down/up

         iwconfig wlan0 txpower auto/off

         rmmod ath5k

         modprobe ath5k

        sometimes it works, sometimes not, just freezes after run modprobe
ath5k, I put the physical switch of the wireless in off and the system
unfreezes but the wireless device is unusable
the solution is shut down completely the system and turn on the notebook

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
        Use the device for the wireless network you are going to use anywhere,
anytime
