So, after I upgraded arch yesterday, xorg stopped working, parts of acpi stopped working (i think), and most importantly, I can't get connected to the internet. it seems like the problem is that ath9k (wireless networking module) wont load. In fact. not many modules will. the list that I get with lsmod is disturbingly short

Also tried eth0 and ath0. it doesn't seem to recognize my wired networking either. I also can't get cpufreq-related modules to load, and cpufreq can't find them. Possibly related? I don't know. lspci does see my wifi card (near the bottom)

Last upgrade I did was this year. I believe it was the past may. However, the update before that was a LONG time ago. I think kernel 2.26.something. I also didn't change my initscripts to the modern version until now, b/c I didn't know they had changed. I've changed them to the new version, but not fully due to missing manpage for vconsole, and focusing on other things. I don't think this should have affected my networking, b/c I use wicd to configure. speaking of which, here's the wicd log for my last session:
