Listmates,
I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting this problem. For months and
months, ever since I installed Arch, my Atheros wifi (through ath0) has always
just worked right out of the box.

The mywpa.conf file is:
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="yes"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="skyline"
KEY="notmyrealkey"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20
That profile would never have worked with ath0, as it specifies wlan0 as
the interface.
Now I boot my box and I get nothing but the "lo" interface brought up. What
gives?
Check dmesg and/or your logs for clues.
What in the world could have changed in the past week or so that is
presenting my wireless from being brought up at boot?
As already mentioned - until you tell us what you have done to your
system in the past week or so, you might as well be asking how to build
one of these:
