Public bug reported: The ath9k module appears to load fine. But I'm unable to see any wireless networks by scanning and I can't get a dhcp lease.

Same results. Matching iwconfig wlan0 chan 5 to my router's current channel did not help. My wireless router doesn't report any log activity. The wireless LED on my laptop is on. Fn+F2 appears like it is supposed to turn this off an on but has no effect.
