wi-fi recognized in live CD but not when ubuntu is installed

[shishimaru]

I'm trying to use Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Alpha6. When I insert the live CD I can for sure surf the net by wi-fi,but when I install Ubuntu into the HDD,network manager doesn't recognize any connection. I have an Atheros wi-fi card (Atheros AR242x)!
In Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope it's all OK (both on live CD and on HDD the connection exist).

I had this same problem. Basically, you need to install wireless drivers for your wireless card from hardware drivers to get them working.

In Hardware Driver I can't find any driver,and I don't know why.

run apport-collect BUGNUMBER to attach the info we need to get started.

[Tony Espy (awe)]

You shouldn't have to run hardware drivers as Atheros chipsets are covered by the ath5k and ath9k drivers which are both FOSS and are in the kernel tree.

Running apport-collect as Alexander suggested will give us some log files to look at to help diagnose the problem.

Also, you might want to re-test with Karmic Beta as opposed to Alpha 6.

with karmic beta the problem doesn't exist anymore!

I have the broadcom wireless in the live i had to enable the hardware driver, worked fine. but once i installed i still need the hardware driver but when i activate it, it just doesnt do anything. so i have no wifi. im running the beta

please upgrade to latest karmic and if you still have issues open bugs for each individual type of hardware that doesnt work.

I just downloaded it yesterday is there newer it's the rc I just checked the iso I have

[nkleeman (kleeman-live)]

It's not that the hardware don't work it's that the hardware driver when I click activate it doesn't do anything just ask for password then doesn't do anything

I just installed a different wifi card i have 3 laying around now all i does it make my wifi light flash orange and blue but i can handle that.
