As chili555 suggests, from the command prompt run:
dmesg | grep -i athIf you get the same output that harry003 did, specifically
Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapterthen the same advice Chili555 gave Harry003 will perhaps work for you, run:
sudo modprobe ath9k
iwconfig
and post your results here.
Plan B:
I just read abit more and found that someone had luck installing a package called linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic.
I've located this package at: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-backports-modules-wireless-karmic-generic
Follow the instructions carefully in order to download it, hopefully that same package will solve your issue.
