Public bug reported:

This issue occurs on a ACER Aspire 5201 laptop, having an Atheros
onboard wireless card. It didn't occur in Ubuntu Dapper

Network Settings >  Wireless Connection > Properties > ESSID :: The
dropdown list is always empty.

Instead, it allows me to type manually the ESSID, in the textbox on top
of the dropdown list. So, it is possible to connect to the wireless
network, using the 'iwlist scan' command and then typing the SSID in the
textbox mentioned.
