Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kernel-image-2.6.24-21-generic-di
I always include the latest kernel updates (including image, modules and
restricted modules) from both Proposed and Security repository sources.
Atheros wireless used to work with 2.6.24-21-generic until a recent
update (October 29 or November 7, 2008 - sorry, unsure which one did it,
as I did not use this kernel recently until after both updates were
done).
Problem Symptoms:
- No wireless connection or signal bars shown.
- Network Settings applet showing no Wireless entry at all.
- Network Admin applet saying "The interface does not exist"
- Connection Properties applet showing ath0 > Status: Error
To be able to use wireless, I've gone back to the old, reliable (for me)
2.6.20-16-generic (sorry, I did not have time to test other available
kernel versions between 2.6.20-16-generic and 2.6.24-21-generic).
