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.
