Public bug reported:
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:
