Hi guys. I'm having problems with my wireless nic, on a notebook. The |
2 |
card is an ath9k 802.11n wireless adapter. The driver is loaded, |
3 |
wpa_supplicant and wicd get to recognize them, I can see the |
4 |
association working correctly, but I can't get the card to |
5 |
authenticate, it ALWAYS times out. I tried looking at the kernel |
6 |
documentation for the ath9k driver, but without success. I'll look for |
7 |
it using the work internet. |

Anyway, does anyone with a similar setup had any problems with atheros |
10 |
nics? And how did you solve it? |
11 |
|
12 |
Thinking further, I had to enable wireless extensions (wext) to make |
13 |
wicd handle ath9k. Should I disable it and stick to wpa_supplicant? |
14 |
Also, I'm using a non-modular kernel, compiling everything in it. |
15 |
Yesterday I left the notebook making a new modular kernel, with sound |
16 |
and wireless drivers modular. I'm almost going all the way to |
17 |
genkernel. Any clues? |

I'm running ~amd64, kernel 3.3.0. 3.1.X worked somewhat ok, but I |
20 |
can't shake the feeling that under Windows this laptop of mine would |
21 |
work flawlessly. I'm not whining, just wanna find a comparable |
22 |
configuration, and solve my usability issues. |

Thanks |
