how do i know which module/driver is controlling my wifi card? (kubuntu)
hello everyone
i have an acer 5051AWXMi laptop and it has an on board wifi card (atheros chipset) which i cannot get it working with the madwifi driver (bundled on kubuntu 7.10)..
what i did was loading with the ndiswrapper the ndis driver of the card and started working fine... though i am curious how am i 100% sure that the ndis driver is the one that has taken over against the madwifi because i have played with both of them and suddently, after a restart it worked...
thanks a lot...
ps. probably i will open a new post for the wifi card...
i cannot make the madwifi to work because it is not supported by the on board chipset, and when i do have a pcmcia card installed with the madwifi it conflicts with the on board one..
if you want to learn more and help plz do so by click here ;-)
