Public bug reported:
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04 and realized that the wireless
no longer worked in 9.10. After troubleshooting, I found that the
proprietary madwifi drivers were left out of Karmic in favor of the
ath5k drivers. In Jaunty, I had to enable the madwifi drivers in Jockey
in order to use wireless and that was fine. However, once the upgrade
happened, the madwifi drivers were removed, and ath5k wasn't able to
take over the wireless function. I tried removing the ath5k from
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf and rebooting, but that didn't
help. So now, I've recompiled the madwifi drivers and am using those,
but I'd be really glad if the ath5k drivers could work for me. Here's
some output from when I was using ath5k that might be able to help:
