Hi everybody,

The kind of wireless I have is

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

It looks like you have the madwifi drivers installed (ath_pci and ath_hal in your modules list). Can you do this and post the output of the last command.

Code:

sudo modprobe -r ath_pci ath_hal
sudo modprobe ath_pci
sudo dmesg | tail -n 40

**D-cat** · 03-23-2009

MadWiFi drivers have limitations when it comes to some more recent Atheros cards. ath5k is better.

Thank you
I have tried to install athk5 before but something went wrong
here you have the response from the terminal (in several threads for here it says I have too many images)
