Public bug reported:
I just installed Xubuntu Tribe2 on my thinkpad using the alternate iso.
On first boot my D-link DWL-G630 was lit saying that it was working
correctly but was not connected to or scanning for a network. When I got
into XFCE the restricted driver box confirmed that the Atheros driver
was loaded. However, it would not connect to networks with iwconfig. I
found that the /etc/network/interfaces file did not contain any settings
for my card (pcmcia and shows up as ath0 under iwconfig), I copied over
the interfaces file from my old xubuntu installation and now networking
works perfectly.
The lines for ath0 are
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet dhcp
wireless-essid any
