I bought a new PCI wireless card for it's Atheros chipset and 
reinstalled Ubuntu 7.04,

Got a message about restricted drivers; it recognized my adapter! :-)

Tried to configure the adapter with the Network Tools/Manager and while 
I was able to select one of the ESSIDs it saw and add the WEP password, 
I was unable to use any network tools (ping, traceroute, etc.)

When I tried iwconfig, ath0 had no ESSID or nickname and when I tried to 
give it one, the connand failed!!

What is going on here???
