Title:
  Atheros AR5001 wireless card "wireless is disabled by hardware switch"

Status in Linux:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I have tried several things that I found in forums with no success
  (i.e. rfkill), I have also tried ndiswrapper and this didn't help
  either (recognized the drivers, but wouldn't switch it on). It just
  seems to be this type of laptop which is an Compaq Presario
  CQ50-110EM.

  Ubuntu knows its there:

  The laptop does have a wireless button, but this has no effect on
  weather the wireless works or not (the colours are normally orange
  with wifi off or blue for wifi on if this helps anyone)
