stuff_happens

I have an AR9285 (Atheros) and it supports 802.11n. I setup my router so it was wireless-n only. Rebooted router and rebooted computer. Xubuntu loads up wireless fine, detects the network and tries to connect to it. It eventually times out trying to connect. If I put router back to wireless-g it connects fine. I have the following output:

Its using ath9k which has support for 802.11n, and it looks like it works since it can detect the network, but connecting is the problem. Btw it uses WPA2, which works fine under 802.11g. Any help greatly appreciated =o)
