Comment 54 for bug 710738

Hi, same problem here, on a acer aspire 3610 with an Atheros AR2413 wifi card.
It works, sometimes? That's really erratic:

 Sometimes, the wifi card is shown in nm-applet, sometimes not, sometimes the networks are detected, sometimes not, sometimes I can connect to them, sometimes not.

Following advices read here or on askubuntu.com, I tried to blacklist different drivers or add options to them, did not do any better. (ath-pci,ath5k,acer-wmi,...)

Strange thing is, if I plug in a usb wifi dongle, the intern Atheros card shows up in networkmanager, and then connects properly (i.e: I can remove the dongle, and the laptop is connected to the internet thanks to the intern atheros card)

Besides, nothing appears to be blocked according to rfkill, and the hardware switch button does not respond (it is always litten).

Thanks you all guy for your help!
I was very skeptikal when I tried Unity on UNE 10.10 but Natty is really awesomely user-friendly :)
