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

 

Thank you so much Gabor!!!
I am a Linux newbie and I didn't know lspci command, so I was basing myself on this page 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes
that actually was misguiding me!
You were right and it reports a Ralink card!

Thanks again!

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 :)
