*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 67064 ***
I can confirm this bug. I tried to install from the Ubuntu Edgy RC Live
CD, but my network card would not get detected. The live cd even froze
on me later during installation (during the "Installing software" part).
Ok, I downloaded the RC alternate CD. During the installation procedure,
three network interfaces were detected. wifi0, ath0 and eth0. Well, I
have only two cards, the Atheros-based Wifi (ath0) card and the Ethernet
card (eth0). Selecting either wifi0 or ath0 did not allow me to connect
to my network which is completely open. Only eth0 worked. Ok, again the
installer chocked during the "software installation" part, put at least
I could finish the installation and reboot. I was thrown to the command
prompt though. Ok, I manually added the repositories to
/etc/apt/sources.list and did a apt-get update followed by apt-get
install kubuntu-desktop. I could download everthing via the ethernet
connection from the Ubuntu servers. After finishing, I rebootet my
computer and everything worked, apart, alas wifi was and is still not
working.
Here is the output of lspci (only the network controllers shown):
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC
(rev 01)
00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
As you can see, I have the same chip as the origninal bug reporter.
The modules are loaded:
$ lsmod | grep ath

I tried everyting from manually bringing up the network and also by
using knetworkmanager. Unfortunately, nothing succeeded.
