Bug Description

I've been running kubuntu dapper and then edgy for some years, and have just upgraded to fiesty using the automatic update facility. All worked just fine until after reboot, my wireless stopped working. I have a belkin F5D5060 usb wireless access point which uses the atmel_at76cXX chipset.

The ethernet wireless connection seems to connect fine (e.g. signal strength, link strenth are shown in iwconfig), but no IP address is allocated. I normally use DHCP. Attempting a dhclient request times out. I also tried to set the IP address manually (using knetworkmanager) but the IP address fails to be set.

This wireless adapter is supposed to be supported (see bottom of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported) and so I guess this is a bug rather than simple hardware incompatibility.
