I tried it, it got me the ath9k listed back in lsmod, but it's still hard
blocked (when I play with hardware ad software switch, I can unblock it, even
though the antenna icon and the connection are still off).
I tried an update through ethernet, no success.
I'm kinda stuck now. I even tried to download network-manager, but it's
broken for some reason.
Unless you have ideas, I'm thinking of reinstalling my system, and see how it
goes.
That hardware block is a mystery.
I still wonder if libreboot isn't involved :
On most systems, the /boot partition has to be left unencrypted while the
others are encrypted. This is so that GRUB, and therefore the kernel, can be
loaded and executed since the firmware can't open a LUKS volume. Not so with
libreboot! Since GRUB is already included directly as a payload, even /boot
can be encrypted. This protects /boot from tampering by someone with physical
access to the system.
Logically, no, since when I turn the laptop on, I unencrypt everything.
Unless I'm wrong, I can exclude that possibility.
If a re-install doesn't work, would it mean that my hardware wifi is dead
(either the switch or the card) ?
With my limited knowledge, I suppose so. Then I'd go with an external card.
Any last minute input more than welcomed, I'll have to delay that reinstall
for a day at least anyway.
