Title: Atheros AR9285 wireless card - Solved
Post by: DRW05 on March 10, 2014, 05:30:09 AM

Running Linux Lite 1.0.8 and this card is not recognized by the system.

So far I have done the following:

In a terminal:

sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

Then a file called ath9k.conf opened, and I input the following:

options ath9k nohwcrypt=1

Saved this file.

Then in terminal:

lsmod |grep ath9k

Performed a reboot. No effect.

Next, I input the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install rfkill

I believe this finished installing, apparently no effect.

Hi, DRW05

A little more information, please.  Could you post the output of the following commands from a terminal (enter each command individually - some output can be lengthy):

Code: [Select]

uname -rv
lspci -knn | grep -EiA2 net
dmesg|grep -Ei 'wlan|firmw|dhc'
sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep -Ei 'net|wpa|dhc'
Since you have installed rfkill, please post the output of the following:

Code: [Select]

sudo rfkill list
It would also be helpful to know the make/model of your system.

I believe this issue is solved for now.

I got some assistance in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2210254 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2210254)

I'll mark this as solved.
