Hello, I have the AR9285 wireless adaptor on an HP DV6-2128ca notebook. I can see it. it comes up in NetworkManager but never gets an IP. the router is a linksys using WPA/PSK security. Would/could someone please help me out trying to get this to work? Output of several commands follows: dmesg: ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x69 ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00 ath: Regpair used: 0x69 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control' Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::radio Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::assoc Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::tx Registered led device: ath9k-phy0::rx phy0: Atheros AR9285 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR5133 RF Rev:e0: mem=0xf8bc0000, irq=185 cat /etc/modprobe.conf: alias wlan0 ath9k tail /var/log/messages: Jul 27 19:31:02 smurf3 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 4 of 5 (IP Configure Timeout) complete.
