I have had the same problem with the update to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid
Lynx). From 8.10 then to 9.04 then to 9.10 everything worked out of the
box but suddenly no connection now with 3Com 3CRWE154G72 officeconnect
pcmcia card. I got the 2 very faint lights on but no activity and no
recognition that the wireless interface existed. There are 2 packages
missing that need installing, at least for me.

I did:

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

this allowed the card to be seen by the OS and the p54pci driver to be
installed. At this point the faint lights go out indicating positive
control over the interface. But if you try to connect at this point you
will get the lights flashing but no connection is established. then I
did:

sudo apt-get install wireless-tools

now iwconfig works and you can use network manager to configure the
interface and it connects OK. So a solution but still does not work out
of the box as it used to so I guess some work needs to be done on the
instalation.
