Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.26-5-generic
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.26-5-generic does not contain the Atheros
drivers.
My PCMCIA wifi card, which used to work before doesn't work anymore because of
this.
iwconfig doesn't even see it.
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-generic does contain the needed driver:
/lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/madwifi/ath_pci.ko
$apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules-2.6.26-5-generic
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.26-5-generic:
Installed: 2.6.26-5.11
