Hi,
There appears to be similar threads recently, but they relate to no wifi at all. I did some updates today, and now if I suspend or hibernate, network manager cannot reconnect to my wifi. It will (after a while) ask me to authenticate, but still fails. Nothing works except a reboot where it connects without issue.
It was fine yesterday, has only started today. Here is my pacman log for today's updates:

I have had the same behaviour for a couple of days with the same messages in my log.
Rebooting does not always help though.

Hi Xlator,
did you update your kernel? Please check the output of
hwinfo --network
for driver module of your wifi.
I've had similar problems with linux-3.3.1 and my Atheros wifi (module ath9k). The solution I found here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139274.

I get an error on the link you posted "Bad request. The link you followed is incorrect or outdated."

Sorry. Now the link should work.

I followed the series of linked threads to this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1085620 and tried it since it seemed more straightforward to download and compile the module rather than apply diff patches.
Perhaps Padfoot would like to try that too.

linux-3.3.2 is released on www.kernel.org and reverts the patch that introduced this problem.
For those using the arch repo kernel the next release will solve this issue. So I suggest waiting for this (no more than a few days) and use the LTS kernel in the meantime (or using a fixed ath9k module if already built).

Thanks for that heiko. I thought that would be the case, hence I just waited.
Will mark this as solved.
Cheers.
