> I have an acer aspire one netbook with atheros wireless:

> 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x / AR542x
> Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
>
> After kernel 3.3.1(3.3.1-5.fc17.i686), the wireless does not connect
> automatically anymore :(,
> I have to push the switch on the side back and forth and after two or
> three moves it then starts.
>
> It used to work without this hack before in previous releases since a good
> while, and now it does not.
