Thanks. Finally got the card detected and connection to the network also with 128bit encryption. I stumbled on <a href="/bugs/126220" title="[regression] wireless card does not work in gutsy, ma311">bug #126220</a> explaining that orinoco_pci was dropped in the Gutsy upgrade. So far as I understand, the workaround I used before blacklisted the other drivers, leaving orinoco_pci to handle the card, explaining why I had no detection aftter the Gutsy upgrade. So I un-blacklisted hostap, which now detects the card (as WIFI) and handles the encrypted connection ok so far. I have a second wireless entry now in Network Manager (inactive?) as I seen reported elsewhere andI have no fancy network monitors, and cannot view available networks, signal strength, etc in the top panel as I could in Fiesty, but at least it's functional.
