Bug Description
Currently running an Acer Aspire 5250 (laptop) with a built in Atheros Ar9485 wireless device. I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and then upgraded to 11.10 using an ethernet connection. Upon removing the ethernet cable and using the default wireless drivers and network manager, the wireless device will scan and connect to a network but the entire computer will hang up, becoming entirely unresponsive shortly thereafter and must be restarted by holding down the power button. If started without an ethernet connection, before even logging in, the system will default scan for a wireless network and again becomes unresponsive. I am fairly certain the problem is rooted in the ath9k drivers but have found no other alternative. While using a hardwired network connect the laptop otherwise runs perfectly.
