I have a similar problem, but in this case, the system is Ubuntu 8.04
(The Kernel is 2.6.24.16.18 and I have installed the linux-restricted-
modules-2.6.24-16-generic, including the packages "linux-restricted-
modules-generic" and "linux-restricted-modules-common")
Problem: When I'm trying to configure my connection (In ath0) via the
Network Monitor Applet (This happens when I click the button
"configure"), I receive the following message box:
(Warning Symbol) The Interface does not exist.
Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your
system
But, in an impossible and strange case, ifconfig confirms that I HAVE THE
CORRECT INTERFACE:
ath0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:e0:1a:2a:ad
inet addr:148.206.75.7 Bcast:148.206.75.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

This is the info from lspci -vv about AR5212:

In other words, I'm online, but I can't download the packages from
Synaptic and, obviously, I can't navigate with Firefox. I'm including
the report of Hardware Testing for best info. Can someone confirm this?
Thanks! (and sorry for my bad english)
