Hello Everyone,
Please lend me a hand here. I have made a clean install of Ubuntu
Jaunty a few months ago, and suddenly the wireless stopped working.
Even without any WPA or other encryption / authentication, my laptop
lacks to connect to my router. My wireless is Atheros 5005G, which is
identified as AR2413 802.11bg NIC by "lshw -C network", and my laptop
is a Toshiba Amilo Pa 1510. The router is fine, because other boxes
can connect to it. I recently made a fresh install of Karmik Koala,
which is already with the 2.6.31 kernel version, hoping that it was a
kernel bug, and it got fixed. No luck in that direction. I have
attached some outputs. I hope those are useful. I have also noticed,
that if I put my laptop right next to the router, then I get DHCP. If
I move further away, the connection is lost.
Any ideas what I could do to fix this?
