I reinstalled my Ubuntu system and the wireless adapter worked directly afterwards. The system I installed was 9.10.
More information: I upgraded my 9.04 Ubuntu system to 9.10, but the adapter still didn't work. After I formated my old system and installed 9.10 all worked without any further updates. This wasn't the main reason to reinstall the system, but came as a positive surprise. I change the status of the bug and if it is still an issue to anybody else, please change it back. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- Wireless will not work on HP Pavillion dv6915nr with Atheros Communications Inc.
