Touble getting ath5k wifi working on Ubuntu 11.10

[Jan Mostert]

Did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 just to be sure it's not something I've
messed up.
First time it booted into Unity, it could see the wireless networks, but
just wouldn't connect, rebooted, now there's no wireless connections to
connect to.

Reinstalled the non-free drivers with
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree
and still nothing to connect to.

iwconfig:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off
