Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: Atheros and Linux

Atheros generally works well. It is in my netbook and I have not ahd a
problem ever on any Linux distro.

Are you sure that the card is not working or just assuming because you have
no connection? You need to set up your wifi network before it will work.
You click on the networking icon and manage it by choosing Edit from the
drop down (Unity). Click on the wireless tab and Add. Provide your SSID,
tick 'connect automatically' then go the the Wireless Security tab and
choose the type and the passphrase. Then it should work.

If you have already done this and it is not working then you may have to
provide us more information.
