I have an ACER Aspire 5515 laptop with Win7 and the Fedora 11 x86_64 base distro on it.

This machine uses the Atheros AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter. The wireless driver shipped in Fedoera 11 does not work.

The LAN connection has died on my machine (even Win7 can't see it) so I cannot use yum to update the wireless driver. I'd love to get a single rpm (or just a few) I could grab on Win7, move over to Fedora, and update the driver.

The only RPMs I see on the web for this Atheros hardware require vmlinux-2.6.30.9-96 (like madwifi-hal-kmdl-2.6.30.9-96.fc11-0.9.4.1-44_r4073.fc11.x86_64.rpm) , but the Fedora 11 base distro uses vmlinux-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64

Does anybody know where I can get the upgrade to make this wireless driver work?

I had just loaded Fedora 11 so it's no loss to download and overwrite with Fedora 12. Since there's a working update to Fedora 11's wireless driver for Atheros I expect the base distro of Fedora 12 will work out of the box.
