Okay, so recently my mom's Ubuntu installation stopped working, so I whipped out an Arch64 CD and installed it. I am getting the following error when running ifconfig wlan0 up after loading the ath5k module:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
Here's the best part: I have the exact same laptop with the exact same wireless card and have had no problems with that one. I believe this is because she is using a 64-bit processor, so it may have a 64-bit version of the module, which is different than the i686 version I use on my laptop.
I am running the most current kernel version in the repo I have (2.6.33). Basically, what I want to know is: Is it a bug with the 64-bit module, or am I just screwing up?
Thanks

Trief "rfkill list all" already to see if its softblocked?

Usually caused by the card being disabled, either by the hw button or software. Try rfkill as the previous poster suggested.

rmmod ath5k

rfkill unblock all
modprobe ath5k

Ok that solves that problem (thanks ), however, dhcpcd always times out after using iwconfig to set the access point. I find it strange that we have the exact same card but mine works like a charn

Ok, this is what I have found:
I upgraded my kernel (my laptop): didn't work
Restored to backup kernel (my laptop): worked
By "didn't work", I mean dhcpcd timed out every time.
So this is either a dhcpcd bug (problem with new driver) or a kernel bug.
What do you think?
