The new Dell Vostro A840 laptops that we ordered came with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) pre-installed. However when I installed the latest release Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), the Atheros AR242x wifi card didn't work right away.
The solution to get this card working is available on WifiDocs > Driver > Atheros on Ubuntu Wiki.
The ath5k module from the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package on Ubuntu backports will do the magic for you.
