Problem connecting to WiFi networks.

Hi,

My machine: Acer Aspire V3-772G.
WiFi controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01).
WiFi driver: driver=ath9k.
Network client: Wicd.

How the problem manifests:

When I hit "connect" to a WiFi network (WPA2) in Wicd, after "Validating password" step "Obtaining IP address" is next, then it just stops and nothing happens, no connection :(
Same problem with wicd_curses, and wicd_cli.

Solutions?

L.E. Some strange fix: If I reboot the router, and try to connect again, it will 100% work, tested multiple times... (what's the connection?) (and no, it is not router's fault).

Re: Problem connecting to WiFi networks.

Can you exactly tell me what logs are useful in this case?

What do you mean by manually?

Re: Problem connecting to WiFi networks.

I have the same problem, the same Wi-Fi controller.

$ lspci

$ dmesg

I turned off "N" mode in the router and now connecting!! It is fantastic!
