I use 10.04 LTS now, but yes, I never got it fixed. I believe I got around it by switching to wicd. I don't think I tried switching back to using Network Manager in 10.04.

I have been using Linux for a long time, and have been using Ubuntu since 5.10, but I have not been able to fix this. I pledge to actively monitor this thread as long as there is help being offered. Here are my notes so far. WHAT HAPPENED lost network connection upgrading "unattended" from 9.4 to 9.10, Karmic ifconfig says the adapter is UP, but there is no IPv4 DHCP address assigned, nor can it get one. It isn't communicating with the router. The router doesn't use security. lsusb yields Accton Technology Corp. SMCWUSB-G zd1211rw 1-3:1.0: firmware version 4725 from dmesg I found the chip is zd1211b tried ifdown/ifup wlan0 sudo service samba restart sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart #No DHCPOFFERS received. booting previous kernel pci=noacpi in kernel boot option commenting out the line in blacklist-ath_pci.conf ping--says unknown host unplug, re-plug USB adapter configuring the connection manually looking for proprietary drivers on the system with the Hardware Drivers application checked still works normally under Windows XP /etc/network/interfaces file still the same as before upgrade grub/menu.lst and backup are the same as before upgrade wlan0 was not changed, not assigned a new name iwlist scan detects my network connection with wire (ethernet cable)--it was normal, got a connection correct driver (module) is loaded for my wireless adapter chipset driver is not blacklisted threshold settings are the same in Windows it appears network-admin is not installed router dns is entered in /etc/resolv.conf All updates have been installed. I will be happy to repeat anything I did for anyone, because I can't be sure I put everything back to how it was when it worked before. I had hoped by now something common had been found between all those who lost the connection.
