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?
