I can also confirm this issue and solution with an Atheros AR9285 did by
doing the following:
When right-clicking Network-Manager in toolbar, "Enable Wireless" is
disabled. This option worked flawlessly prior to updating to Maverick RC
on 10-6-10.
Tried the following in a terminal:
norla...@wooglin:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
norla...@wooglin:~$ rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes
norla...@wooglin:~$ sudo rfkill unblock all
norla...@wooglin:~$ sudo rfkill list
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
At this point, right-clicking on the Network-Manager tool showed my
wireless was now enabled, and in the process had actually had auto-
connected to one of my saved networks!
