[SOLVED] Atheros/Madwifi can't scan

Hi all!

I've installed Archlinux few days ago after many years with Ubuntu. I could configure network with no problems using networkmanager daemon. I could connect by wired connection or wifi using madwifi driver.

Today wifi connection can't connect to any net. Network seems be up but scanning fails.

[sjovani@pcsjovani ~]$ iwlist ath0 scan
ath0      No scan results

[sjovani@pcsjovani ~]$ ifconfig -a

I think the problem has came after configure arch to use splashy, but I don't know...

Any solution?

Thanks!!

EDIT: Solved blacklisting ath5k module. Thanks.
