I have replaced my wireless card in my laptop last night as the previous one stopped working.
The new card is Qualcomm Atheros AR9485, I found it much better than my previous wifi card as it has better signal, doesn't drop connection and bluetooth is working, the only thing is neither the wireless or bluetooth work on startup so I have to suspend my laptop before I even get to log in which is a bit annoying, after it wakes up everything is working perfectly.
I ran the wireless-info script twice, before I suspended the laptop and after and compared the results with "sdiff". I noticed that
Code:
bnep,ath3k,btbcm,btrtl,btusb,rfcomm,btintel
were being loaded only after I suspended the laptop so I added them manually to load on startup which they do now but that hasn't fixed my problem.
Here's the full output of my wireless-info script of both before (left column) and after (right column) suspending

Also in dmesg it looks like the wireless and bluetooth card doesn't go on until after the wakeup
Code:
[ 694.053141] PM: Finishing wakeup.

Is there any way to force this device to be enabled on startup?
