Atheros missing from Hardware Drivers after latest Intrepid Proposed

[bonesaw]

After Intrepid-proposed updates today which were prompted by update manager (linux 2.6.27.11) Atheros driver is missing from Hardware Drivers and wireless doesn't work. I have a DLink DWL-G650. This is my first bug report, please advise if/how I can submit further information. I've submitted this by stepping back a version via GRUB.

1) Ubuntu 8.10 (proposed)
2) not sure, I think it has something to do with upgrading to 2.6.27.11
3) Connect to wireless network
4) Drivers appear to be missing

Several discussions/tutorials exist for problems with ubuntu and atheros wireless.
Can we find an easier solution that can work with new releases?
