Install wireless NIC issue

jvalleystream · 01-06-2007, 12:27 AM

Hi,
I install SUSE 10.2 to my Acer Aspire 9300-5317 with AMD 64x2 Turion.

I have a problem to configurate my Wireless NIC.

When I use lspci, it displays "04:05.0 AR5005G rev 01 " as my NIC.

How can I configurate my WNIC?

Can I use ndiswrapper to install the driver?

If yes, where can I download <some>.inf file

in order to use ndiswrapper to install?

Thank you.

You can use madwifi to make your Atheros card work. Follow the guide at http://www.softwareinreview.com/cms/content/view/60

Madwifi is much easier than ndiswrapper.

Hi,
Thank you for your help.

I found that the rpm for mdawifi. Is there how-to info for me to install
the driver.

The 'driver' is included in the madwifi rpm. If you follow the relevant part of the guide exactly, you'll have no problems.
