[SATLUG] help with wireless card Atheros ARG5005 rev 01

Tue Dec 5 02:19:01 CST 2006

  i am having the same problem but i think i am making some progress.. i found the windows driver for my card, in my case net5211.inf
 i installed and loaded ndiswrapper, then i loadedthe Wndows driver #ndiswrapper -i xxx.inf
 then checked if loaded #ndiswraper -l( it should tell you have the hardware present)
 afer that i edited /etc/modprobe.conf and added the following: alias wlan0 ndiswrapper.
 then i run from the terminal syste-config-network& and add new wireless device and it IS LISTED AS NDISWRAPPER(wlan0)
 my problem is the following: when i go to the HARDWARE DEVICE setion i click on the BIND TO MAC ADDRESS and it tells me 
   [ERRNO 19] NO SUCH DEVICE.... any body nows a way around this... thanks in advice hope this helps you a litle, because t sees w are in the same boat

 problem. I cannot connect to any wifi network.
