Lost wireless after Hoary upgrade

[Don W. Jenkins]

I never did get an answer to my query, either, but when the Hoary
final release came out, I downloaded it and installed, and it found my
Atheros wireless card and configured it fine, like Warty had done. 
This is my desktop, and the kernel here, too is 2.6.10, and it may
have been that the earlier failed attempts with Array 6 and the
Preview were loading 2.6.8, or some version of the kernel that did not
have the modules I needed.  At any rate, it is working for me now. 
What I had to do prior to this was upgrade from Warty, which seemed to
get me to about the same place with Hoary.
