[Bug 1173681] Re: 168c:002b AR9285 ath9k not working after updating to ubuntu 13.04 Raring (linux 3.8.0-19-generic)

 

I've just found the problem!!!

And the problem is....... THE MODULE: "asus_nb_wmi"

After blacklist the asus_nb_wmi module the "0: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN"
is gone from rfkill list and wireless works again!!!

sudo rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

The collateral damages are that the "Fn" keys are gone also, since this
module is for that.

In this mail (http://lwn.net/Articles/429993/) we can read: "I hope this
series won't break anything, because there are a lot of change."

Is Mr. Corentin Chary the "father" of this bug?
