I bet it's that. Rfkill and acpi can be a pain. Ath5k and ath9k have= had issues with it in the past. I'll see if my acer sspire one (running windows) has the same issue when bo= oting freebsd..

I tried to attach the previous message, too, but I assume the system was unhappy with the 180KB+ log file. =20 > There's no errors here, it's just not RX'ing anything. >=20 > Is there an rfkill switch/button?
