After spending 3 days chasing this the fix was simple; I *don't* use network manager. It's one of the things I uninstall as soon as I do any system build. To compensate for this I keep a couple of Gnome 'Network Monitors' on a the lower panel. One for LAN, one for WLAN.
I deleted the WLAN monitor and recreated it and it all worked again - flawlessly. Something in that upgrade list above broke the wireless via this little gui monitor the other night. Tis an oddball but hopefully this will help someone else out. Only thing that does *not* work is the WIRELESS LED on the laptop (despite ATH5K appearing to have a LED module.) It stays amber whatever - which is about as much use as a one legged man at an a*s kicking competition - but hey, it never has worked with UB 8.10, so I'm not going to cry. SOLVED -- ath5k stops working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
