How far behind were you?<br>

For months, hmm. So you haven't upgraded in all of that time? What<br>
was your old kernel version? If you went from 2.6.26 (lenny kernel) to<br>
2.6.32 (squeeze kernel) you may have just gone from ath0 (old,<br>
non-free madwifi driver) -> wlan0 (new, free ath5k driver, in kernel).<br>
<br>
Have a look over <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Upgrade" target="_blank">http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Upgrade</a> to<br>
see if you've missed any of those steps.<br>

<br>
Please verify /etc/network/interfaces contains no references to your<br>
wifi interface, as that is what tells NetworkManager it's OK to manage<br>
your interface for you.<br>

<br>
wlan0 with lenny? I guess you're using a kernel backport with that?<br>
lenny never had support for ath5k. if that was your starting point for<br>
squeeze, then my theory about ath0 -> wlan0 change is less likely.<br>
just look over that Upgrade page carefully.<br>
