Description Henson Sturgill 2011-11-03 05:13:16 UTC

The x86 (different Kernel) detects my wireless card fine, the x86_64 Install CD does not. The ath9k module does appear to be loaded. Works fine after I compile my own Kernel.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Install CD
2. modprobe ath9k
3. No wireless card listed in iwconfig


Expected Results:  
Wireless card detected as wlan0

Henson, the arch alias is intended for stable reqs, removing.
It's enough that it's assigned to the Gentoo Release Team

There were a few problems with the install-cd I've pointed before, so please test the latest[1].
