You were dead right. I had access to the machine today.

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules 

[…]

# PCI device 0x168c:0x001c (ath5k_pci)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="ob:fu:sc:at:ed:00", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"

That is what I get for trying out athk5 and not knowing what I was
doing.

So finally the problem is resolved. Thanks a lot for your help and
patience to everyone.


Bests,

Paul


PS: Somehow the user was not in the netdev group so starting nm-applet
(GNOME Network Manager) did not work. Adding the user to the group
solved this too.
