** Description changed:

  The Acer TravelMate 290 requires the user to initially boot into WinXP
  and use the wireless card before warm rebooting into Ubunut 10.04.1 i386
  Desktop to active the wireless card. I think the root cause of this is
  the physical Radio Frequency Kill Switch. In both tests the switch is
  set to enable the wireless card; for some reason on a cold boot, linux
  *thinks* this is set to the disabled position:
