becomes hard blocked in rfkill

#> rfkill list:

        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes

if I unload module an then load it again card still is hard blocked:

#> modprobe -r -f ath5k && sleep 5s && modprobe ath5k && rfkill list

        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes

if I kill process:

#> /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch

and then

#> modprobe -r -f ath5k && sleep 5s && modprobe ath5k && rfkill list

card becomes unlocked
#> rfkill list

        Soft blocked: no
