getting Atheros wireless to work on Ubuntu 7.04
I'm trying to get my wireless card to work with ubuntu 7.06 for 64 bits.
It's an Atheros AR5007EG.
I found on a web site that I could use a windows driver that was provided there (it's the windows 32-bit driver) (802ABG_
Here are the set of instructions I followed:
Chipset: Atheros AR5007EG (rev 01)
PCI ID: 168c:001c
Download the windows 32-bit drivers from here.
Download and install the last version of ndiswrapper (it works from 1.45 version), installation
Try to remove the module ath_pci to let ndiswrapper to use the wifi.
"sudo rmmod ath_pci" or "sudo modprobe -r ath_pci"
also try put that module in the blacklist of modprobe to avoid his
loading on the startup:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.
Insert this line:
blacklist ath_pci
Then restart.
When u will boot again.
Load the windows driver it from the uncompress folder:
#ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf
then install to modprobe
#ndiswrapper -m
I did everything they said but with the last one (ndiswrapper -m) this is what it displays:
module configuration already contains alias directive
I'm new to linux so any help would be really appreciated.
