If I try to bring it back up again, it comes up without error - but scanning for or trying to associate with my router produces results as though the router was not there - I can confirm that it's there because other computers are connected to it and not losing their connections. It continues to not work until I reboot the computer. I'm running Gentoo 2.6.36-r1, the card is an Atheros AR9285 in an Asus Eee PC 1000HE, running on the ath9k driver, built-in to the kernel. Using the latest drivers from compat-wireless made no discernible difference. The output of "lspci -nnk" and "dmesg | grep ath" are attached. Thanks for the help. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
