I've just started learning linux and I Just installed Fedora Core 7
I'm having trouble getting my Atheros AR5006X wireless working though.
I was following the instructions on
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/sho...d.php?t=161573
http://fedorasolved.org/post-instal...ons/yum-config/
http://fedoramobile.org/fc-wireless/madwifi-yum-livna/
I have confirmed yum & madwifi is installed via installed packages in the add/remove software program. I modded /etc/modprobe.conf as shown in the instructions.
My current modprobe.conf looks like:
alias eth0 r8169
alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
## Start Atheros Stuff
alias wifi0 ath_pci
alias ath0 ath_pci
options ath_pci autocreate=sta
## End atheros stuff
My computer is a Toshiba U300-NS1
IntelŪ PentiumŪ Dual Core processor T2080 (1.73GHz
2GB DDR2
160.0 billion bytes, 9.5mm height, S-ATA, 5400rpm.
Mobile IntelŪ 943GML Express Chipset with up to 251MB
Atheros Wireless LAN (802.11b/g) (AR5006X)
please help!! Oh I should the wired connection works fine, its just the wireless I'm having issues with. If I do ifconfig/iwconfig the hard wired connection shows up, but nothing for the wireless. The wireless works fine in vista & xp
