Edgy cannot detect my atheros card

[Daniel Gagnon]

While Dapper detects my Wireless card out of the box, Edgy cannot. If I use the Wireless Assistant, it says it cannot find any wifi card and quits.

This happens with the Edgy RC LiveCD so default environment.

Here's the output from lspci

Note :

The output from lspci is from Dapper which detects it perfectly, not from
Edgy that cannot find it.

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached its end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!
