Hello,
I'm trying to installl Archlinux but I can't get the wifi working.
I first execute "ip link set wlan0 up" which doesn't return anything (so I guess it works).
Then I try "iwlist wlan0 scan" but I get :
ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
ath5k phy0: can't reset hardware (-5)
Does anyone know how I can this working ?
Thanks ! :-)

Hi, can you post your ifconfig and iwconfig and lsmod?
Of course, here it is :
ifconfig
eth0: ...
lo: ...
wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 metric 1
ether 00:16:e3:fe:ca:d6 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
iwconfig
wlan0: IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any
Mode: Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry long limit: 7 RTS thr: off Fragment thr: off
Encryption key:off
Power Management: offlo: no wireless extensions.
eth0: no wireless extensions.
lsmod gives me a too long list to copy, so here are some grep into it :
lsmod |grep ath5
ath5k 128467 0
ath 12413 1 ath5k
mac80211 341044 1 ath5k
cfg80211 147429 3 ath,ath5k,mac802211
lsmod |grep cfg80211
cfg80211 147429 3 ath,ath5k,mac802211
rfkill 12568 2 cfg80211, toshiba_acpi

Well...now it works. But it didn't before, even with rebooting (a lot of times).
Could this be linked to the order in which modules are loaded ? (the lsmod I copy in the post before are the one for which it is working)
Edit:
Well...now it doesn't work again. I have this :
ip link set wlan9 up
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
As I'm on the iso, rfkill is not available...does someone have a solution ? Thanks
