Hi,

You will need an Internet connection for this. So please connect your wired ethernet card to your wireless router using a LAN cable.

Please first blacklist ndiswrapper by running following command:

sudo echo "blacklist ndiswrapper" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Then, reboot your pc.

Then, try this procedure:

http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility/Atheros/AR5005G

If that procedure does not work, please send us the output of the following command:

sudo aptitude search linux-restricted

Regards,

Mark

hi,
I tried
sudo echo "blacklist ndiswrapper" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
but the output of the command is

bash: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: Permission denied

instead the output of the command
sudo aptitude search linux-restricted
is

Ok, now it is working
thank you very much

Thanks Mark Rijckenberg, that solved my question.
