and you can modprobe -r ath_hal ath_pci ath_rate_onoe wlan_wep wlan and modprobe
them again
i have always done it in that order and next thing i know iwconfig shows me
connected to the AP, and clicking "attempt to get dhcp address again" works.
i think the "mode managed" line is the most important. i remember once just
doing that and having no problem with anything else.
just wanted to give my tip.
i hope this gets fixed. it's one of the problems that must have pretty basic
answers and is thus very frustrating when it doesn't get fixed from release to
release. i'm much more understanding of things like external monitors not
working easily or dock/undockign because i know that some of that are
fundamental problems that will require more time to fix.
I have found a temporary solution/fix, though I haven't installed enough on my
x40 to have it down perfectly.
if you swith to another virtual terminal and do the following:
iwconfig ath0 mode managed
iwconfig ath0 essid -whatever you want-
iwconfig ath0 rate 36M
and you can modprobe -r ath_hal ath_pci ath_rate_onoe wlan_wep wlan and modprobe
them again
