It seem default driver wont work with the Interpid Ibex even tons of manual have been referred via internet.
Bored with the driver so i try to install the driver manually myself.
First step is to disable the driver from ubuntu installation. System>Administration>Hardware drivers. Restart
Download the driver from here:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download
extract the driver.
using console, enter to directory and type
make
then type
sudo make install
then type
sudo make unload
to unload any driver from ubuntu instalation. Then type
sudo make load
After that you can see a list of module loaded. To try the driver, type
modprobe ath5k
sudo ip link set wlan0 up
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid any
Typing
iwconfig
will give output like this:
hostmaster@hostmaster-laptop:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wmaster0 no wireless extensions.

Your wireless should be ready to connect.
Put
ath5k
inside /etc/modules to start the module on start up. Then you are ready to connect to internet..
