[Bug 182489] Re: Atheros wireless (AR5007) not working on various laptops, including the ASUS Eee PC
FYI: Card works fine in my HP DV6809 since 8/25/08 when following Madberry's process.
[ http://madberry.org/2008/08/how-to-get-atheros-ar242x-wireless-to-work-2/ ]. Thanks much again!.
Re-install has worked on every kernel, including latest .21-generic.
BUT, I do not need/install Windows Driver envelope [Ndiswrapper?]. Is
that where other problems lie?
I have the madwifi folder. To re-install on new kernel:
* Disable HAL and 802.11 device. ...System-Admin-Hardware Drivers...
* sudo apt-get update && sudo aptitude install build-essential
make clean
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe ath_pci
sudo modprobe wlan-scan-sta
* re-enable HAL and 802.11.
* restart
Hope this helps!

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 :)
