Ok. Vanilla 2.6.31.5 works ok, so the problem is definitely in the kernel.

Re: [Bug 395565] Re: atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1
That card is handled by the driver ath5k now. The problem is that it doesn't work on Karmic with its kernel 2.6.31 (don't remember Ubuntu version but the latest one as of yesterday). To solve it, I had compiled manually a 2.6.32-rc5 kernel and it worked beautifully. Maybe you can do that too, or try to force the install of madwifi, or try to use ndiswrappers. Ideally Ubuntu would update its kernel with the bits that fix this card from the ath5k driver, lets cross our fingers :-). Good luck.

[Bug 395565] Re: atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1
Hello, I managed to get the wireless work in my Fujitsu Siemens laptop. (see my prev. message above). The Atheros wifi driver is loaded and ok, but the hardware is simply switched off, and the hotkey button (to switch it on) is not enabled. So I downloaded source code for the acerhk hoykey driver and managed to compile it in Karmic. I was then able switch the wifi on with Fn + ((o)) hotkey. I had to fix and hack the source to get it compiled and not all features work right. Anyway, the wireless is now ON and functional. Later I discovered that Ubutnu's repository has a patched and updated acerhk-source package. See $ apt-cache search acerhk-source It installs acerhk source to /usr/src/ directory which you can then unpack and compile. Unfortunately the compilation failed with error: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c', needed by `kernel/bounds.s'.

Ok those values are interpreted as below: 0 SOFT BLOCKED 1 UNBLOCKED 2 HARD BLOCKED So it seems that when the driver is loaded and the global rfkill state is enabled then everything comes up ok, when it is soft blocked the hardware block is applied in the device. Strange. Will report to upstreams who pushing this rkfill framework refactor. Could all of you confirm your results with the 2.6.31-3.19 kernel as this is pretty much the tip of mainline for rfkill purposes.

Can you also include the output of the command below in your reports so
we can work out which device is which:

There are a number of reports that the rfkill state is defaulting to 'off'. Could those of you suffering here collect the contents of /sys/class/rfkill/*/state and attach it here. Also could you try toggling your rfkill switches and see how the content changes, also include that information in your report. Finally does toggling rfkill enable your wireless. -- atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirmed, and thank you rodrigo for showing me how to do this I'm now posting this from .31-2 kernel with working wifi. My process is slightly different from rodrigos but the result is the same, my wifi is working and so is the wifi LED light that goes with it. Summary: Main difference in mine is I MUST boot my computer, then sudo modprobe -r -f ath5k. If I don't, switching the wifi button locks my computer up completely. I must hold the power button in until it shuts down, then reboot. Also, notice in my details that when I modprobe -r -f ath5k there is only 1 rfkill result. Hoping this will help with what is really going wrong on the ath5k systems Details: Boot r...@buzzmandt-laptop:/home/buzzmandt# tail /sys/class/rfkill/*/state == /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state == 0 == /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill1/state == 1 r...@buzzmandt-laptop:/home/buzzmandt# modprobe -r -f ath5k r...@buzzmandt-laptop:/home/buzzmandt# tail /sys/class/rfkill/*/state 0 notice only one rfkill result... press wifi switch ... r...@buzzmandt-laptop:/home/buzzmandt# tail /sys/class/rfkill/*/state == /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state == 1 Notice still only 1 rfkill result ... r...@buzzmandt-laptop:/home/buzzmandt# modprobe ath5k r...@buzzmandt-laptop:/home/buzzmandt# tail /sys/class/rfkill/*/state == /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state == 1 == /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill2/state == 1 Wifi works, LED indicator also works. IMPORTANT NOTE: The wifi connection does not work until 2 rfkill states are present. if there is only 1 rfkill present but it's set to 1 there still is no wifi.

Network manager continues to say wireless disabled. still running 2.6.30-10 and wireless is still working flawlessly. Other than the kernel everything is the same, I'm just changing kernels from the grub menu so I'm assuming network manager uses the same settings and should just work.

thanks leann couple of unfortunatelys 1, installing backports knocked out my wifi even for the the kernel i was connecting with (2.6.30-10), the only difference is my network manager is able to see available connections AND connect to them, but there is no communication between the wifi and browser (default firefox). firefox doesn't report offline but no connections happen, tried several different sites. under kernel 2.6.31-2 there is no connection at all. when I do sudo modprobe -r -f ath5k sudo modprobe ath5k it no longer says device unmanaged, it says device is disabled. switching the wifi hardware switch makes no changes. 2. I am a truck driver (and most of us truck drivers have laptops and wifi only connections, linux needs this to just work to have a shot at truck drivers). My only available connections are wifi. The command you asked me to run must have a working connection to use. I'm assuming it would do you no good to run this command under a working wifi connection (correct me if I'm wrong here) Is there any commands that I can run while under the not working wifi that could help trouble shoot this and then I post the results here as a saved results text file?

[Bug 395565] Re: atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1
Thanks for the testing and the updates buzzmandt. If and when you're able to, like you mentioned, it'll be best to gather logs from when you're experiencing issues. The two most helpful logs will be the dmesg output as well as lspci. After you experience this issue, if you could capture the following that would be great (run the following commands from a Terminal window, Applications-Accessories-Terminal): dmesg dmesg.log sudo lspci -vnvn lspci-vnvn.log Then when you are able to get to a stable network connection, attach those two logs files to this report. One last set of testing that we'd greatly appreciate is if you could also test the latest upstream compat- wireless stack, see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download . Assuming this issue exists in the upstream source we'll want to escalate this upstream as well and make sure the upstream developers are notified.

[Bug 395565] Re: atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1
Confirmed bug on Toshiba A135-S2386 using 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) and 2.6.31-2-generic There are two method of enabling/disabling the wireless on this laptop: 1. softkey Fn+F8 2. toggle switch on the front of the laptop (with LED indicator) After booting: Method 1 does nothing. Method 2 does nothing. The following modprobe method listed by itchy8me enables the wireless: sudo modprobe -r -f ath5k sudo modprobe ath5k After this, method 1 does nothing (does not enable/disable wireless). Method 2 operates as it should, it disables the wireless (cannot ping google.com). However, the icon in the upper panel does not indicate the wireless is disabled. I added a shell script with the commands listed above to get wireless working -- atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Good news for my 7520G. Simply push the wireless key on the keyboard, wait few seconds and ... ops! everything is ok! the network icon on the panel change to connected. Of course pushing again the wireless key turn the wifi off. Maybe with kernel 2.6.31-1 the wireless is by default turned off ?. -- atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 395565] Re: atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1
doesn't work on acer aspire 3680. I have a slide switch on the front of the pc for wifi. slide it off then slide it on, locks computer down completely. no mouse even. Have to force off then restart comp. Also tried already having it turned off then turning it on after booting completes. still locks system down. I think above post is right that wireles is turned off by default. Maybe if this were fixed I and wifi engaged at the proper time it wouldn't cause such a lock up on my system, not sure. -- atheros wifi not working with kernel 2.6.31-1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395565 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
