Atheros AR9285

[Brenden Blosser]

Hi. I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time now. My laptop has a Atheros AR9285 wireless card in it currently but when I try to connect to my wireless network or run "ifconfig wlan0 up scan" I see in return:

ath0: hardware error; resetting
ath0: 0x00000000 0x00002000 0x00000000, 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000


But it shows it's status as "associated" with my wireless network but there is no network access in anyway (Can't even ping 192.168.1.1).


I'm providing all informational outputs below:
