Comment (by ASoftwareHatingFurry):

 I can confirm similar behaviour on my system with Alpha 4.1, the first
 boot (or few boots?) the Atheros WiFi was working, and then it stopped. I
 don't remember the exact circumstances, but it was already installed on
 the hard drive by that point. The drive is the netbook's internal
 mechanical hard drive, probably SATA, in case that is relevant. Intel Atom
 with Intel chipset. Other partitions besides Haiku are an NTFS partition
 and an Ext3 partition.
 WiFi is the netbook's internal WiFi card, Devices reports this as "AR242x
 / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express), Atheros, device/type=2
 device/subtype=0 device/interface=0 device/vendor=0x168c device/id=0x1c

 Typing ifconfig up /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 restored operation, and it
 continued to work forever after even between reboots. I have not needed to
 re-type that line.
