Description: If an attempt to connect to a wireless access
point fails on my system the wireless card, Atheros AR9285,
is powered down for some reason and I have to run "ifconfig
wlan0 up" as root to get the interface back up. I know that
reproducing this will be hard because it depends on the
connection failing, netcfg fails with "DHCP lease failed"
before the card is powered down. The timeout for the
interface is set to 60 seconds and all the networks I have
been trying with are open hot spots.
Additional info: * package version(s) kernel26: 2.6.39.2-1 and netcfg: 2.5.5-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |

this is not an archlinux bug in packaging, it's an issue with your
driver you use for your wireless chip. You should ask
