    I have a A135-S2306 purchased in Feb 2007.

    It has always had a problem where about 20% of the time when I boot it up the Wi-Fi is not on. There is a little led on the front by the Wi-Fi switch (I always have the switch on) and that led is not on when this problem occurs.
    I have to reboot to get it to come on.

    The Wi-Fi in this laptop is built in. Atheros AR5006X Wireless Network Adapter

    Anybody else having this problem or know of a solution?

    I have tried Toshiba support but, as most of you know, it is useless.
