[Bug 278190] Re: [ath9k] AR5418 frequently fails to connect to WEP/WPA network

[F4RR4R]

I found a solution, here's a copy of my post on the ubuntuforums:

Turns out that this has something to do with the Wireless & Bluetooth
being on the same chip (or perhaps not, still working on it). In
/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ there are two files that I had to
modify in order to make this work:

/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth
/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan

They each contain a single boolean value. The bluetooth value contained
a 1 and the wlan contained a 0. You cannot modify this values while your
system is running, therefore, the solution was to add two lines to my
/etc/rc.local file:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth # disable bluetooth
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan # enable wireless

As soon as I restarted, it came up with absolutely no problems.

Now, it may be that they can both be enabled at the same time, I haven't
tested that far yet.
