Bug#659521: ath9k: ATH9K driver will not connect to my adhoc network but works with managed (router) connections

[Ankman <ank@spamfence.net>]

Package: linux-headers-3.2.0-1-686-pae
Version: 3.2.4-1
Severity: important
File: ath9k

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Connecting to an adhoc (IBSS) node.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Connection to adhoc won't work. Booting the previous (3.1.0-1-686-pae) and it works again. Although in 3.2.0-1-686-pae managed (router bound) connection DO work.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Adhoc connections (at least to my other computer, which worked before since months) do not work with the ATH9K, but managed connection are not affected by this bug (if it's a bug).

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Espected to connect in adhoc mode.
