I recently picked up another notebook and the ath card in it cannot
see my SSIDs (meth, meth2.4 and open) at home. However, my two other
notebooks, one using iwi and other other running Windows, can see
these just fine (and all three notebooks are next to each other). The
following is an ifconfig scan from both 4.8-stable machines, but the
issue is also reproducible with a snapshot--any ideas appreciated.
