Hi
For some reason I had to reinstall kubuntu on my notebook, and now my
wifi is not working. I have atheros wifi card in my laptop. I am
running Kubuntu 8.04.1
Here is the lspci -vm
Device: 06:00.0
Class: Ethernet controller
Vendor: Atheros Communications Inc.
Device: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
SVendor: Foxconn International, Inc.
SDevice: Unknown device e000
Rev: 01
I have check dmesg and I get following
[ 32.407386] ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
[ 32.427705] ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111,
RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
[ 32.957557] wlan: 0.9.4
[ 33.015018] ath_pci: 0.9.4
when I do iwconfig
linux at (no spam) sony:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
What's going on? How come my card is not working? What extra step I
need to take to make it work? |

Check to see if the madwifi module for the Atheros chip has been loaded:
lsmod
Probably your wireless start up script got destroyed when you had to
reinstall. Try this:
ifconfig ath0 up
and see if your wireless card is shown with either ifconfig or iwconfig.
If it is, then do a manual connection.
