PCMCIA wifi driver
 
Hello
I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite J11. I get it a PCMCI wifi card - EP-9428-gp working on 108Mbit. I have a good driver for windows but I can't find driver for linux. I use Debian with kernel 2.6.15

Can anyone help me?

108 mbps = Atheros chipset

Atheros chipset = MadWiFi driver

Hu 2Gnu,
I use the same card. SURECOM EP-9428-gp/A2 variant. When I install, it on UBUNTU 7.04-FF it works as a Not proof devece or something like that and was recognized and chosen on installation.
But now, when I install Debian 4.0R1 ETCH, it was not revealed on the installation at all.
How can I install it on Debian in KDE environment? I stick around at many boards, but with no success to drive the card under Deb.

I will be happy if get some clues. 10x in advance.

Well m8s,
Finally after few hours of googling, I find out the official support of the http://www.madwifi.org/ and especially http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifi where I found perfect manual for installing the card.
Just follow the instructions carefully and I think that on Debian etch 4.0R1 will work just well.
10x 2Gnu for the helpful post.

Here is config details of the card:
