Description of problem: Since I updated to kernel 3.3.1, NetworkManager can't connect to a wireless network with an AR9285 wireless chip. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tested with 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3 3.3.0-8 still works fine How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update kernel 2. reboot 3. regard wireless status Actual results: connection timeout, so NM asks for the password again (and again and again..) Expected results: should connect to wireless network Additional info:
Same here, after update to 3.3.1-2 (from today). Wifi on 3.3.1-2.PAE doesn't work either!
Kernel commit db6a6a78d8602964c9dfb1d8ce18daefd92da0a7 seems to be the culprit, and it has also been reported on LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/26
Just to add something that I noticed: It doesn't work only for WPA networks, but works for WEP networks using kernel 3.3.1-2 (3.3.1-3 also)
Identical problem with AR9285 (PCI Express) / ath9k driver. However, if I plug in my Asus N-13 usb wireless (Ralink 802.11n WLAN) using rt2800usb driver, Network Manager connects OK for 3.3.1-x kernels.

Update to kernel-3.3.1-5.fc16.x86_64 did *not* solve this problem.
Nobody said it would. But, you might try the test kernels here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3980617
Same here with AR9287 on Linux 3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64.
(In reply to comment #8) > Same here with AR9287 on Linux 3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64. Oh dear, I mean Linux 3.3.1-3.fc16.x86_64. Sry.
AR9285 with kernel 3.3.1-3 on wireless network without encryption works at first boot, but after laptop goes to sleep and wakes up same problem as described. wpa_supplicant.log shows: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 reason=3 Trying to authenticate with *(routers hardware address)* (SSID='X' freq=2437 MHz)
I'm seeing this on kernel 3.3.1-5, fc16, x86_64. Atheros AR9285, connecting to wireless access point using WPA2. 3.3.0-8 is the last kernel in which the wireless has worked. NetworkManager doesn't help with its constant prompting for authentication credentials.
Same as #10. AR9285 with kernel 3.3.1-3 on wireless network but with encryption works at first boot, but after laptop goes to sleep and wakes up, I can't get it to connect with anything less than a reboot.
This should be fixed with 3.3.2.

kernel-3.3.2-1.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
It works perfect!!! :) Awesome my friend... thanks a lot
You can update your kernel version with a simple su -c 'yum update kernel' I did it on a Acer Aspire 4551 with Fedora 16 Verne X86_64, I hope it works for you :)
I used to have exactly the same problem, having a Atheros AR9285. I also needed to boot into an older kernel in order to get the wireless running. As said, the last update to kernel-3.3.2-1.fc16 fixed it. Thanks.
kernel-3.3.2-1.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Well, I installed Fedora 18 on my netbook (a MSI MS-N014) and with the default kernel (3.6.10-PAE version) the AR9285 works, but on the newer kenel 3.9.6-PAE doesn't. With the newer kernel I have to boot the system with the wireless activated if I want to get wifi and not always work. When I stop and start again the network service I have these messages.
