Acer Aspire One wifi card will NOT turn back on

[BeerPatrol]

OK here it goes.

I had the ath5k driver for my atheros card running so that I could run kismet. Once I finished with kismet, my card would not recover from monitor mode. In the process of me figuring out how to put it back in manage mode, i seemed to have disabled my wifi card and i can't get it back up and running. network manager isnt acknowledging it
lspci -C network gave me this on the wireless card:
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Ethernet controller
product: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
vendor: Atheros Communications Inc.
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
version: 01
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: bus_master cap_list
configuration: latency=0
Any help would be appreciated.

Here is what I suggest, from a terminal:

sudo modprobe ath5k
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

Does that fix it?

That did not fix it, iwconfig does not see my wireless card at all nor does ifconfig. I believe the card's power is literally off, and I cant turn it back on. The power switch on the card never worked in ubuntu so I have no idea how i managed to do this.

edit: ok so i got the card back on, but network manager still shows no available connections under wireless networks

So does iwconfig now show your wireless interface? What does this tell us?

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan

Good! That means the card is not being disabled by the switch. May we see:

iwconfig

Thanks.
