Ok, I have the results of the three but I'm not certain exactly which parts to post. For now, I've uploaded all but the error command results in a txt. Tell me if you want me to narrow it down a bit...

From what you did post, this is what I found. Here, I think, is the wireless: Code: 01:0b.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394) [0c00]: Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) [104c:8023] That would mean it would use the ath5k driver. That driver isn't loading, but I do see this driver loading. Code: Module Size Used by ath_hal 192592 0 That is part of the MadWifi driver, but the full driver doesn't seem to be loading. It is different than the ath5k, as it isn't 100% open source. I would try removing that module, and loading the ath5k module. Code: sudo modprobe -r ath_hal Code: sudo modprobe ath5k If this doesn't work, then just install the MadWifi driver through Synaptic. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help.
