Wireless adapter "disappeared" , Atheros ar9825

Hi , i have dell M5030 inspiron laptop , 

  I`ve got this problem about 4-5 weeks now , my laptop was working normally , when suddenly my WI-FI item in taskbar disappeared.
I tried almost everything till then , system restore , updating drivers  , uninstalling/reinstalling even formating my laptop, but still no effect.
I read that by clicking ROLL BACK , at the drivers properties , this can be fixed , but my problem is that even ROLL BACK cannot be selected.
The Adapter also disappeared at Network Connection Properties now i have only Ethernet  adapter there.
I also took a screen shot , to make it more clearly hoping that someone already know how to solve this problem .

 I have Windows 7 , home premium 64 bit  OS

Hey Rick,  sorry for late reply,
