I've tried almost everything i can find including Full Re-install of Kubuntu, And standard Ubuntu. A lot of people say its the drivers which are ATH5K driver which i have tried to run a new install of the driver, tried to run ndiswrapper(which removed my wireless completely) tried the madbull drivers, and tried a backporting the driver. none have worked. i added the computer type and wifi card type in the title just in case its one of those doing it instead.

this is a log of all of the wireless status.

Install dependencies required to compile the driver:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms

Go here and download the newest driver to your computer then place the file on your desktop and right click and extract here.

Then compile the driver using the directions below.

cd ~/Desktop/backports-3.15-rc1-1
make defconfig-ath5k
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -rv ath5k 
sudo modprobe -v ath5k

When you have an upgrade to the kernel you will need to do:

cd ~/Desktop/backports-3.15-rc1-1
make clean
make defconfig-ath5k
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -rv ath5k 
sudo modprobe -v ath5k
