I am running Debian Jessie on my computer. I recently moved the computer by automobile. Afterwords on bootup I get the message:
ath5k: phy0: failed to wake up the MAC chip and my wireless no longer works. Changing the wireless card didn't help. I assumed at first that this is a hardware problem resulting from assumed (none visible) damage from the computer move but by searching the Internet I discovered that it can also occur through software issues. I am currently connected to the router by cable through the Ethernet line. But I need to move my computer to where only wireless connection is possible. So I need to get wireless to work. If this is a hardware problem it is probably not worth fixing as my computer is 5 yrs old ($400 purchase price) but I do not want to buy a new computer. Can anyone suggest how to determine if this is a hardware or software problem and how I might go about fixing it?
