It just won't connect properly and when I use the NetworkManager
"configure" the setting keep going back to WEP even though I keep
trying to set it to WPA.

Which messages do you see in the konsole when configuring the card
after, in the konsole, starting:
draknetcenter
You cant use NetworkManager and draknetcenter at the same time. You have
to either disable NM or marke the checkbox (about NM controlling the
device) in draknetcenter.

Just letting people know of the fix for this unit.
The laptop's owner returned it so that I could work on a possible fix to
the wifi connection. After some testing and trouble shooting, I deleted
the NetworkManager through the MCC which allowed a more reliable
connection and I also created this file in etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf
with the line "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" which for some unknown reason
made for an even more solid connection <-- I found this recommendation
on a thread somewhere but lost the location.
The laptop now connects to the internet and does not turn itself out,
and, it no longer cuts in and out randomly.
Cheers,
Marc
