This is a constant bug for me on 900a. Fn+F2 will switch wireless off, 
but not back on. Running the wireless scripts manually results in:
off:
trevor at Myri:/etc/acpi/actions$ sudo sh wireless.sh off
Detected eeepc-wlan as rfkill /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0
Detected WLAN module ath5k on wlan0

On:
trevor at Myri:/etc/acpi/actions$ sudo sh wireless.sh on
Detected eeepc-wlan as rfkill /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0
Detected WLAN module ath5k on wlan0
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
exec: 51: wireless.sh: not found

the led comes back on, but I get no connectivity and scanning with wicd

anything else I can provide?

Debian squeze/sid
Linux-image-2.6.30-1 from sid, everything else from squeeze at latest 
update.
