Hi ive been going around googling for 3 weeks now trying to find a solution and ive had it. im just gonna ask the question that everyone wants answered.
first of all i have a ar5007 wireless card and i need help pointing me in the right direction when i run
[QUOTE]iwconfig[QUOTE]
i get no wireless extension
so is it that i need the ath5k driver and if i do i have no clue how to install make the directory for it.pretty much i would apperciate it if u tell me what to do.
i have donwloaded that driver 50 million times now and tryin different method that are posted online and non of them worked so please please help.
Could yo post the exact error you're seeing? If it is what I think it is, either some software hasn't been installed or the kernel hasn't been configures correctly. Also knowing what distro you're using would help.
