Bug Description
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.

I tried broadcasting my ssid and turning off WEP. 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.
I successfully connected to this router with this laptop when it had Vista on it.

Once I was able to list scanned aps, associate with mine and get a dhcp lease after I did:
root@panther:~# invoke-rc.d NetworkManager stop
The connection wasn't usable however and I've been unable to repeat that partial success. I seem to be back at square one.
