Hi there,
Has anyone gottent this wifi adapter to function using Arch? It works flawlessly out of the box on Ubuntu, so I know it's possible.
I have followed the instructions on the wiki. My firmware is there. The device is recognized and up, however all attempts at scanning/connecting for available networks are failing. I'm not sure what configuration item I might be missing? 'iw list' does return a slew of infor about the card. I did cursory scan of the ubuntu live cd logs, and everything looks the same (except for the device names), so I must not know what to look for.
Any insight would be appreciated. - Thanks, Greg

A cold boot resolved the issue.
