Hello,
I'm trying to get my new Toshiba Satellite A355D-S6885 up and running with Wifi.
The wireless card is detected, the ath9k drivers are loaded, and I can detect
the SSID's around me.
However, I just can't seem to detect any DHCP Offers.

I've also tried turning off encryption, using a static IP address, changing
channels, using NetworkManager and wicd, as well as the following shell script
(all to no avail):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo dhclient -r wlan0
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 wlan0
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "Andromeda"
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key d7eff3f108
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key open
sudo iwconfig wlan0 enc d7eff3f108
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 4
sudo iwconfig wlan0 ap "00:17:3F:BF:D9:F6"
sudo dhclient wlan0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If there is something else I should try, please let me know.
Thanks!
