Solved! My friend has another model of Acer Laptop with Atheros 5005G WLAN a/b/g Card.
It seems he used to have this often, and he suggested a *SIMPLE* workaround for this. Switch OFF and back ON the wireless button in the laptop and reboot. It so appears, the wireless LED is will be burning always regardless of the state of workability. Note: I'm not switching off the Wireless button Off for this to happen! It all happens randomly. ;-) Thanks anyways! By the way: the lspci & /proc/version output is AFTER atheros disappeared! and its a fresh install of 7.04 -- Atheros 5005 permanently disappears all of a sudden https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
