I'm having the same problem, I've posted to ubuntuforums.com, but no responses so far: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6092508#post6092508
I have an Asus M70 laptop with an Atheros AR928X Atheros card. It uses the ATH9K wireless driver. I installed 8.1 RC x64, but check my system for updates/patches every day. When I attempt to connect to an access point, I get time out error messages. I've tried several different access points.
