>Description:
Hello, I am using an atheros wireless card (as in subject) and it stopped working after upgrading to 8.1-release. I am using wpa_supplicant and WPA2-PSK (AES/CCMP). The log says it connected to the AP successfully but it doesn't send or recieve any data. I can't acquire a dhcp lease. I have just installed 8.0-release again and it works flawlessly. 
It's not the problem with the router (it works with linux on the same machine, and it works after reinstalling 8.0-release) nor with the IP settings (it doesn't work even if I use static IP, not the dhcp).

Here's output of /var/log/messages:
