Ar5005G Wireless Adapter Chipset not associated?

I have recently updated my Acer Aspire 5040 to Vista business (32bit), I have done all the Microsoft updates, including Service pack 2. Now my Atheros 5005G wireless adapter no longer works. (Yes I have made sure I have the latest drivers) I have done the following to fix the issue.
1) Contact Atheros Corporation – they told me to contact Acer as they only make the chip and not the software (driver ) for the chipset
2) Contacted Acer- They indicated that it is out of warranty and won’t help without more money.
3) Uninstalled and re-installed XP, (it did not work)
4) Uninstall and re-install Vista (still does not work)
Windows device manager says the hardware is installed and working properly but the CCX diagnostics says.
The results of the CCX test is below:
Driver installation test This test is to check the radio driver installation. The radio's registry keys are OK. Nic name. . . . . . . . . : Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adapter Driver name . . . . . . . : ATHR Driver path . . . . . . . : C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\athr.sys Driver version. . . . . . : 7.7.0.384

and Yes I have tried to turn on the wireless button on the front of the computer, Is there anyone out there that can help me with this?
