Come on, you know you want to buy me a beer!

For the longest time my wifi (which is an Atheros ath5k) has been reported as hard blocked on Ubuntu.
There doesn't seem to be a pattern, but when it works, it works for a long time... then all of a sudden it stops again.

The fix seemed to be a rather strange one, but never mind, it works. Run this in the terminal:

Code:
1
2
3
sudo rmmod -f ath5k
sudo modprobe ath5k

I'm not saying this will definitely work for you, but for me at least it does.

Hope it helps someone out there!
