Created attachment 1774 [details] syslog showing wlan failure Description of problem:There have been some other ath5k bugs and I note the beta2 errata. Put this in to attach more info. Problem is wireless doesn't spontaneously come up. Strange thing is that just running "rmmod ath5k" and doing nothing else at all will bring it up. I attach firstly syslog extracts from the boot process where it has failed, and secondly more syslog around when I've run rmmod and it wakes up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always

Appears still to be valid as at M3_beta1 x86_64, in that wireless seems not to be working. I'll look at it closely in the next couple of days and report.
initially in M3B2 no servers are seen. If run rmmod -f ath5k rfkill unblock all modprobe ath5k then trying to connect again will work after some time delay. It would be much better if it just worked without this, as with M1.
I think this is now old and superceded

I'm sorry to report this at this late stage, but it's not fixed. Using M3 RC x86_64 I just can't get wireless to work. The base station is found, full signal strength. Configuration proceeds normally, but connection fails. I've done the stuff: rmmod ath5k rfkill unblock all modprobe ath5k and it doesn't help at all. I attach relevant journalctl stuff at the end Comment: why a myriad lines (which I've edited out)re WEP? - despite that I've set it up as WPA? I also notice that usually when I come back to configure it again via MCC, the type of security defaults back to WEP - is this a bug? I don't know where to go from here.

Sorry for the spam. I forgot to set the wireless regulatory domain to 'au' :-( Tony Blackwell
