When I first installed FatDog, the wireless worked fine. Then I dabbled with different localizations to get the Japanese fonts working, though I am now back to US English (en_US.UTF-8 ).
Since my localization trials, the Network Wizard recognizes the wlan0 as Atheros (ath9k), but when scanning for active networks, sees none. There are active networks because I'm using one now on a different laptop. And the Atheros network card sees and connects to networks in Win8. I can connect via wired ethernet.
The wpa_gui does no better.
I tried manually setting the country code as in:

Code: Select all
options ath9k override_eeprom_regdomain=33608
Still no connection.
In my dmesg:
Code: Select all
ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map
ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00
Code: Select all
06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168c:002b] (rev 01)
Code: Select all
wlan0 13 channels in total; available frequencies :
Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz
Channel 06 : 2.437 GHz
Channel 07 : 2.442 GHz
Channel 08 : 2.447 GHz
Channel 09 : 2.452 GHz
Channel 10 : 2.457 GHz
Channel 11 : 2.462 GHz
Channel 12 : 2.467 GHz
Channel 13 : 2.472 GHz
AFAIK, there is no switch for the wifi radio on this machine.
Thx, HJ.
