Hello. I have an issue with my installation of Arch on my Samsung NC10. I installed netcfg and added profiles to /etc/network.d/ as I'm supposed to. On boot, however, it won't connect to an access point. In fact, it doesn't connect at all unless I manually load the ath5k module as root (when it's already in /etc/rc.conf). After that point, I have to run `netcfg <profile>` twice to get it to work.
The boot error says it can't access private ioctl or something similar.
The first attempt to run netcfg as root after loading ath5k is "Wireless association failed". The second attempt works.
This is rather fishy... is there anything I can do to get this working smoothly?
