Hi,

Please connect the pc to the wireless router using an ethernet cable and
then follow this procedure:

Step 1: Open Terminal from "Applications->Accessories->
Terminal"

Step 2: Run the following commands (copy-paste each line into the
Terminal, press <enter> after each line)

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install build-essential subversion

cd ~

wget http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz

tar xvf madwifi-trunk-current.tar.gz

cd madwifi-trunk-r4079-20090712

make

sudo make install

gksudo gedit /etc/modules

# Now add the Atheros kernel module ath_pci to the list of modules to be
automatically loaded at boot by adding

ath_pci

# to the end of the /etc/modules file. (Gedit editor automatically
opens)

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

# Now add the following 3 lines at the end of the
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file:

blacklist ath5k_pci
blacklist ATL1E
blacklist ath5k

# Now you can reboot and it should work.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Mark
