Wireless broken from U/G to 9.10
TP-LINK TL-WN610G not working following U/G to 9.10 which worked very well in Ubuntu 8.04.
The device manager instantly see the correct device as Atheros AR 5001 but it does not seem to even attempt connection. Here is some relevant information.

I removed network manager and installed WICD which reports no wireless network found even though I am right behind the wireless router and all security has been disabled. The wireless interface is set to wlan0. What else can I do?
How can Ubuntu detect the correct device and not connect when this worked perfectly in version 8.10??
