I followed several HOW-TOs in order to make it work. Unfortunately I it is working only after I reboot from my Windows installation (regardless of the position of the wifi switch on the front panel of the notebook). After restart from Windows everything is fine - the wifi associates with the AP and I can use it. If I reboot the system during the boot and afterwards I constantly get: ath0: device timeout When I get the device status through ifconfig I can see that ath0 is associated but wlan0 is not associated. ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:19:7e:91:xx:xx nd6 options=29 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g status: associated ifconfig wlan0 wlan0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:19:7e:91:xx:xx nd6 options=29 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid "" channel 5 (2432 MHz 11g) regdomain 98 indoor ecm authmode WPA privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF txpower 20 bmiss 7 scanvalid 450 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 5 protmode CTS wme burst roaming MANUAL In /var/log/messages I get: Jun 8 16:39:16 PC wpa_supplicant[3463]: Trying to associate with 54:e6:fc:ae:xx:xx (SSID='access1' freq=2432 MHz) Jun 8 16:39:20 PC kernel: ath0: device timeout Jun 8 16:39:26 PC wpa_supplicant[3463]: Authentication with 54:e6:fc:ae:xx:xx timed out.
