I've been following this thread, as I have the Atheros AR242x. My symptoms,
and output from each of the suggested commands, are very close to identical to

I created my /etc/modprobe.conf using emacs and adding the single

network adapters). However, I did notice in a previous post that you
had /sbin/generate-modprobe.conf installed. My google search for
information on generate-modprobe.conf was not particularly
enlightening. Perhaps you will have better luck.
I tried generate-modprobe.conf, and it returned
Cannot find old version of modprobe. Giving up.
Spectacularly useless, then.
