------------- Trying using this commands : enabling network before and then
:~$ sudo modprobe -r -f ath5k
or
:~$ sudo rmmod ath5k


:~$ sudo modprobe ath5k




Tryed now:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hv-3.5.0-24-generic

And rebooting. This not solves it.

-----------------Then also:
:~$ sudo su

In the last days my wireless suddedly go down and my edit connection can see the stamp that wireless connection was working two days ago.

I looked on forums and I learn some commands. I tryed solutions.

Yesterday for a moment I could have again wireless appear. But I cannot reproduce the exact combination to have ath5 and wireless working again.

Just booting.

[anotherone33]

Is there someone who can help me to get back my wireless working ?

Thank, you

[steeldriver]

your original problem sounds like it might be some kind of power management issue? like the device is not waking up from sleep / hibernate

[anotherone33]

Thank you, I appreciate very much you help steeldriver.
Do you know any direct way I can wake up my wireless from sleep/hibernate? I tryed $ ifup -a . No success.

Can you help me to remove any damn I can have done in my tries and leave a virgin situation where possibly apply the wake up procedure?

Sincerely I also have no procedure to recognize if the wireless simply suddendly broken. If it is so, probably not responding at all? (and this is not the case, real?).

In my searches I found something about a driver not associated with the wireless, and this because "network UNCLAIMED". But sincerely I haven't found an exact procedure resolve the unclaimed, or for some reason the procedure with me doesn't solve.

[steeldriver]

These things can be hard to fix - chili555 has previously posted a possible solution

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ighlight=sleep

You will need to change the module name from iwlwifi to ath5k

IIRC there's also a condition where Windows can leave some wireless hardware in a state that Linux can't wake it from - that's only if you dual boot of course, and I don't know if it applies to the Atheros chipset(s)

You may want to remove the backports package as well, since that seems to have made things worse

[anotherone33]

Hi,
everybody.
Unfortunately may be I solved.

This is my output now:
$ lspci -nn | grep Ath

02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. Attansic L1 Gigabit Ethernet [1969:1048] (rev b0)

May be this is the solution to the question: how can I recognize if my controller suddendly breaks?
(may be)Answer: because no response in lspci -nn , and no module response in dmesg | grep -e ath -e wlan


If no news from you, bad news, and so have I to buy a wireless-usb-pen or a new controller? Can you confirm?

Thanks for you attention...

I read your answer now, below... I'll remove backports, thanks.

[anotherone33]

Hey ! wireless not broken! It seems back again!!!

If you can again give me an help ... welcoming
