[Bug 182489] Re: Atheros wireless (AR5007) not working on various laptops, including the ASUS Eee PC

 

Yeah, it will be nice to have

 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
At work we all engineers have laptops with that chip and using Ubuntu . . . . it will be coool.
I have made compilations and every guide I have found on the net but nothing helps. perhaps it is no kernel support for this chips

good luck! ! !

The Eee PC has non-working wireless out of the box. A patch is available from the madwifi website:

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
