Wifi/ath9k : Waiting for carrier => timout

Hello,

I can't connect to the internet before installing. When launch dhcpcd -A wlp1s0 I got a timed out message.
Of course, I have set the SSID/psk in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

Can anyone help me ?
I've followed all the steps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/be … e#Wireless without wifi-menu (wifi-menu didn't work).
I also tried this without luck : http://superuser.com/a/807893/238291

Thanks

Network controller : Qualcomm Atheros AR9285
Kernel Driver/module : ath9k

Re: Wifi/ath9k : Waiting for carrier => timout

I just recently did one of these, and I can't remember whether there is a firmware file that goes with it. It's hard to get wifi to connect to WPA routers without a little help. Anyhow I can get it to connect to my N router, but it only connects at G speed.  May just be a SNR that affects the top speed, but I don't think so, because I can have it nearby and it only goes to G.

Please paste the network block you have for the SSID. Note that the default path now is "/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf", but if you only use dhcpcd to connect (and let it launch wpa_supplicant) this should not matter as dhcpcd  looks in the old path as well.

You could also try dhclient.

I usually just use wifi-menu at the setup step, then use a network manager that comes with the DE after I'm done with my setup.
