Need drivers for my wireless adapter

QueenZ · 03-02-2009, 11:29 AM

Hey guys, i have just installed Fedora 10 and now my wireless adapter doesn't work and i think it's because i need to install drivers for it.. I have been using Ubuntu for the last few weeks and it worked fine in ubuntu probably because ubuntu comes with drivers for my adapter already installed..

Now, i'm kind of newbie so i don't know where to look and what to do..

I did lspci and here is my adapter..

Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

Hi,
Install madwifi driver from http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=82936,blacklist ath5k or ath9k driver and load new driver with modprobe.Also,I recommend to install wicd because it will set your connection automagically on boot.
