Ok, several issues here.
First of all, I should say that this is a clean install of Dapper, after formatting a previous, functional install of Breezy. (I had done some damage to it, and decided that it would be easier to start over with Dapper)
Now, I have a Cisco Atheros based Mini-PCI Wi-fi card that worked great under Ubuntu Hoary, which I altered to Kubuntu Hoary, which I upgraded to Kubuntu Breezy. The Wi-fi was fully functional under all those Distros.
Now that I have formatted and installed Dapper, I can't Wi-Fi working. The card is functional and active in Network Manager. My /etc/network/interfaces shows the proper setup for ath0
-------
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
address 10.50.2.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.50.2.1
wireless-essid <Mywirelessessid>
wireless-key s:<mywirelessencryptionkey>
----------
(I edited out the essid and key here)
My etc/network/resolve.conf shows the proper IPs of my two name servers.
These are the EXACT SAME settings that I was using before I formatted.
Yet I am completely unable to route.
My wireless base station even shows the MAC of ath0 as a connected client!
In addition, when I boot up and get to the desktop, while the wi-fi manager is running, it is NOT automatically linking to the base station. It just keeps hunting and hunting until I MANUALLY go into Config Editor and activate Config 1.
Again, this did NOT happen with Hoary or Breezy. Under those, KWi-Fi manager would automatically start, Fire up Config 1, and Link to the base station. I was also able to route properly.
Incidentally, This laptop is ALSO a dual-boot with Windows, and the same card works just fine in Windows. So I know it's not a hardware issue.
So... What am I missing here?
