Bug Description

After upgrading intrepid this evening I lost wireless, and it turns out the ath5k directory/driver is missing ( 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686). The driver was there and had been working up until tonight. Perhaps this is a packaging problem rather than a kernel problem. Please reassign if appropriate.
I tried a reinstall from Synaptic but that didn't help.

I can confirm this. Wireless stopped working after latest update. Searched for ath5k and it is not present in the new kernel. Tried ath_pci and ath9k in case they had been extended to work with all chipsets but did not work. I presume this is some oversight.
This is a showstopper bug for many. I am using a asus 900 eee pc.
