Anyway the fast solution is just to skip RFKill check, go to
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/rfkill.c and make ath5k_is_rfkill_set
always return 0.
Thank you Nick for this suggestion and I am sorry it took me so much

Since I am not a kernel expert, after I make this change, do I have to
compile the entire kernel?
Can I just compile the ath5k driver? And how do I do that?
You can download compat-wireless, patch it and configure it to compile

I am sorry, I do not understand anything from the below technical message.
Does this mean that the only solution is to cover pin13?
Can't it be done with ath5k? It was working fine with ath_pci. So the
code in ath_pci exists.
It can't be so difficult to fix...

You could just look at the code in ath5k/rfkill.c and just comment out
the code that glues together the rfkill GPIO pin to the rfkill
personality.
(ie, GPIO pins have personalities, they can be configured as input,
output, rfkill to the baseband, other stuff..)
If the pin isn't configured as
