I have an atheros wifi chipset. During install of 12.04 ubuntu server, the wifi is recognized and used.

But on restart, it's not working.

lspci shows:

Atheros Communications Inc. AR512/AR513 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01).

Has anybody else faced this problem?

Thanks!

worked after on the third re-install. dunno why. went from a fancy LVM+RAID install to a brain-dead-simple single partition install. maybe that did. not sure. – newb00241 Apr 29 '12 at 4:21
confirmed that this is due to /tmp being on a separate partition. On the vanilla setup, I pointed /tmp to a separate partition and rebooted. wifi configuration didn't complete. Commenting out the /tmp line from /etc/fstab made it work again. – newb00241 Apr 29 '12 at 5:59
That deserves to be an accepted answer! – vines Nov 7 '12 at 19:03
