Title:

Wireless switch stopped working in Linux.

Text:

This is a new problem. Wireless worked fine in Linux until two days ago. Now pressing button wont turn it on. Trying with a live disc also doesn't help so I know its not the software. In Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, it is acting up as well but still works. In Windows, I have to press the button twice to turn on the wireless card after it boots up and then the switch turns off if the computer is idle for a few minutes. "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked. Why is it doing this and how to fix?
