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

 

Madberry,   great procedure! Fixes my HP dv6809 laptop.  Thanks much.

MY2CENTS:  I still think these hardware vendors should ensure 'Linux Compatibility'.  
AKA: I'd not have bought this HP laptop if I knew the 'new' card didn't support Linux! 
[how much time have folks spent on this?]

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 :)
