I can confirm ath9k module breakage on limbo kernel 3.3-r1. Symptoms are :
while trying to connect to my wireless, iwconfig / wicd sees the connection,
but fails to practically connect [Connection Failed] and the debuged info of
wicd-client running in terminal looks like this :
"blacknoxis@blacknoxis ~ $ wicd-client Has notifications support
TrueLoading...Connecting to daemon...Connected.displaytray TrueDone

connection above with wicd-client : one with passphrase and the other preshared
key. In both cases password says it's wrong, but it isn't, because I can
connect with pppoe-start with the same password typed in the wicd-client and of
course, internet works as I can send this email, heh. Ath9k has gone mad :|
On the other hand, I can confirm another phenomenon (maybe it's in my
imagination) but limbo kernel 3.3-r1 boots 10% faster than the other kernels.
Using generic one.
Oh and Happy Easter to everybody ! :)
