I found a solution, here's a copy of my post on the ubuntuforums: Turns out that this has something to do with the Wireless & Bluetooth being on the same chip (or perhaps not, still working on it). In /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ there are two files that I had to modify in order to make this work:
/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan They each contain a single boolean value. The bluetooth value contained a 1 and the wlan contained a 0. You cannot modify this values while your system is running, therefore, the solution was to add two lines to my /etc/rc.local file: echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/bluetooth # disable bluetooth echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/wlan # enable wireless As soon as I restarted, it came up with absolutely no problems. Now, it may be that they can both be enabled at the same time, I haven't tested that far yet. -- [ath9k] AR5418 frequently fails to connect to WEP/WPA network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278190 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
