Wireless problem Intel 4965 after upgrade

After rebooting following the most recent pacman -Syu, my wireless would not connect. I had not problems previously. Here's what I get in dmesg (the relevant parts anyway):

wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:24:a5:6f:23:e7 by local choice (reason=3)
wlan0: authenticate with 00:24:a5:6f:23:e7 (try 1)
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with 00:24:a5:6f:23:e7 (try 1)
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 00:24:a5:6f:23:e7 (capab=0x11 status=0 aid=5)
wlan0: associated

wlan0: deauthenticating from 00:24:a5:6f:23:e7 by local choice (reason=3)
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain

I've tried using netcfg2 and also manually with wpa_supplicant followed by dhcpcd. BTW a look at a more extensive log shows dhcp trying to get an IP:

I've searched through many similar threads, and tried several things suggested (disabling IPv6, reloading kernel, turning off power management in 4965), but none worked. Thanks for your help.

Re: Wireless problem Intel 4965 after upgrade

Not sure what happened, but now it works. I rebooted into the windows partition to check if it was a hardware problem and the wireless worked in windows. Booting back into Arch wireless worked. So something got reset with the windows boot, but I have no idea what. If anyone else has a similar problem and dual boots, try this.
