DetailsDescription: I installed today an archlinux, and after I switched to testing with kernel 2.6.33, either network manager or wicd cannot find any wifi connection. I got this in /var/logs/errors.log

In my case the problems start when I plug or unplug the notebook's charger and only a cold reboot will fix the problem, this happens with ath5k and madwifi.
I have confirmed that in my case downgrading only kernel26{,-headers,-firmware} with make it work as expected.

Last kernel working for me is 2.6.32.8-1. Even this one however sometimes fails after resume (from suspend).
Do you have any cpu frequency scaling support modules loaded? Such as powernow_k8 or acpi_cpufreq.
If you do, try to blacklist them and the cpufreq daemon and try to reproduce the problem.
If things work then report it upstream [1] as this doesn't seem to be a problem specific to arch.
I have also reported this specific problem in our bug tracker [2].

@mauro : I have the same problem. And for now, the only tweak is to use wicd with a wired connection, which is not ideal. But NetworkManager seems to show this problem faster than wicd.
I see kernel 2.6.34 has landed in [testing], that I can test fairly quickly and report back if it works or not. Meanwhile the workaround of using phc-k8 has been working for me.
Edit:
Still the same problem with 2.6.34 in testing. I really need to free a day to bisect the kernel and try to find the offending commit.
