Atheros 2413 - Does not connect with WPA security in 9.10, 10.04. Works 8.04.4, 9.04.

[Roasted]

I have a laptop here (Toshiba Satellite L25) with an Atheros 2413 wireless card.

In each version of Ubuntu I tried, I can see the SSID of my wireless out of box. However, when trying to connect, I get the following:

8.04.4 = Works with WPA.
9.04 = Works with WPA.
9.10 = Works unsecured, not with WPA.
10.04 March 28th Daily Build = Works unsecured, not with WPA.

With 9.10, I also tried "WICD" network manager, and it too didn't yield any differences.

EDIT - when working with 8.04.4, 9.04, and 9.10, they were as updated as humanly possible as of March 28th. In each instance, they had the newest kernel possible.

Hi Roasted,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 550653

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Roasted, I see the apport-collected tag being added, but not the logs. Care to try it again?

Thanks!

I don't mean to sound like an idiot but what exactly should I do? I'm
not exactly an expert posting on Launchpad here to report bugs and I'm
not entirely sure what I might have missed when I tried it the first
time. Any sort of advice on exactly what to do would be most helpful.
Otherwise I will just try over what I did previously tomorrow morning then.

For the record, the 10.04 RC didn't work. :(

Thanks for your support. It's appreciated. Have a good one.
