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 |
