[Bug 182489] Re: Atheros wireless (AR5007) not working on various laptops, including the ASUS Eee PC
I used the following method to get my eee pc wireless to work:
Re: EeePC, wireless and Intrepid
with intrepid it should work almost out of the box. You just:
-install intrepid
-then go to system->hardware drivers
-disable the atheros driver in that list
-reboot your computer
and wireless should work on the eeepc.
One problem that had me stumped initially was that it did not detect
channels 12 (2.467GHz) and 13 (2.472GHz).
