Comment 18 for bug 306719

Hi Everyone

I'm not to sure what exactly what to do here, initially on installing alpha 4 atheros driver was available in the hardware drivers section, but I noticed that even if its not loaded it says the driver has just been deactivated if I try to activate...

After a few updates I have installed the linux-backports and linux-restricted...

zeus@Kimera:~$ uname -a
Linux Kimera 2.6.28-8-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 18 03:23:10 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

zeus@Kimera:~$ dmesg | grep ath5k
[ 11.720878] ath5k 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[ 11.720901] ath5k 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64

The network manager applet initially would connec= and show wifi networks, wifi worked on my unsecured work wifi with web page based login. But at home with wep 64 it would connect but not pass any traffic, after updating now network-manager doesn't even show wireless networks available.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jason.
