Perfect distribution supporting atheros wifi

valQ · 03-31-2006, 09:40 AM

I am having trouble with my new ubuntu installation in my laptop. As I am a newbie I would like to ask if there's a particular distro that could directly support atheros wifi card? I am using toshiba laptop with atheros now.

Thanks

SuSE Linux supports it, to name but one example. There are undoubtely others and IMHO they are easy enough to find.

Thank you for your immediate reply. It's really fast and I'm amazed.

Anyway, have viewed some distros and they seem to support my hardware but when I install them it needs some tweaks like madwifi. Well, thank you for your inputs I guess I have to look for more.

I am using ubuntu now. I have followed the instruction of enabling my atheros wifi but still not working.

Thanks a lot guys...
