I have a new build with an atheros ar946x wifi adapter that I have yet to be able to connect to my router. I've updated the drivers for the wifi card (couldn't find the series on qualcomm's site for some reason) and updated the router's (d-link dir-655) firmware so it's on default settings. I've tried a couple other things, renewing the ip address, resetting TCP/IP. None of my other devices are having any trouble with connecting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It does detect multiple networks, including the one I'm trying to connect to.

Here's what I get in ip.txt, maybe the "media disconnected" everywhere has something to do with ti.

I think that's leading me in the right direction. I've found that the AVG TDI driver causes some Media disconnected issues and I can now connect to my wifi router, but with no internet yet. I'll post back with any updates.
