you can simply move /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch as
/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch.old and put these lines in
/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch :

#!/bin/sh
exit 0

then you must execute:

chmod 755 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch
killall -9 /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-rfkill-killswitch
modprobe -r -f ath5k && sleep 5s && modprobe ath5k
service network-manager restart

byez!
