Bug#775045: firmware-atheros: ath9k_htc fails to connect
Package: firmware-atheros
Version: 0.43
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I installed Debian Jessie with XFCE4, replacing Wheezy, on my desktop computer
with a TP-LINK TL-WN721N wireless USB adapter.
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c03e Logitech, Inc. Premium Optical Wheel Mouse
(M-BT58)
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
To use the wifi connection, I installed the package firmware-atheros. After
that, my wifi network (SSID: wireless) was visible in Network Manager. I
clicked that and supplied my WPA2 protection key.
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Instead of establishing a connection, the NM visual indicator kept circling.
The top command indicated that systemd-journald was busy. The dmesg output ketp
repeating the following until I removed the USB adapter:
