[SOLVED] Proper kernel modules no longer loaded (3.10)

sberghel · 2013-08-02 17:51:24

I upgraded the kernel on my laptop today, and now proper kernel modules aren't loaded on boot. Among other things:

1) I have no wireless connection, since the wireless module wasn't loaded. No wireless device shows up for ip link. Since this laptop has no Ethernet connection, that means I have no Internet.
2) There's no touchpad support (two-finger scrolling doesn't work, two-finger tapping doesn't work, two-finger and three-finger clicking don't work)
3) Function keys don't work, so I can't change the brightness or adjust the volume.

How do I fix this?

The laptop is an Aspire S3. I think the ath9k driver should work for wireless, but I don't know what modules I need to get the rest working.

Standard question: what's the output of 'uname -r' and 'pacman -Q linux'

Okay, I made a file called wifi.conf in /etc/modules-load.d with the only content being

ath9k

and I still have no wireless device.

uname -r

3.10.3-1-ARCH

pacman -Q linux

linux 3.10.3-1

I rebooted again, on the off-chance that would fix it, and....it did. Resolved->magicallyfixed?
