After updating my newly installed ubuntu 10.10. I can't connect to the wifi network anymore although it is showing it.

Tried to install manufacturer driver INF file via ndiswrapper only makes things worst - lost my wifi.

Downloaded and installed the compat-wireless driver for the Atheros AR9287. After installing, i got my wifi connection again but after rebooting I can't reconnect again. The Wifi access point is showing 2/5 to 3/5 signal strength.

Laptop: Acer Aspire 4741G Wifi Adapter: Atheros AR9287 OS: Ubuntu 10.10 64bit

Please amend your question to: 1) state whether you purged ndiswrapper; 2) contain the corresponding dmesg output so we can read the diagnostic bits. Feel free to link to a pastebin entry. – Daniel T Chen Dec 13 '10 at 3:43
