Atheros AR5001X

[waterhead]

I was really hoping that I would find that the ath5k driver was being blacklisted there, but it's not.

I don't know why it isn't being automatically loaded. For now, the best that you can do is to manually load it and try to get the wireless to work.

Ok, but the problem is that I don't know who to do it :s

[waterhead]

After manually loading the module, it is usually at the top of the lsmod output. I again don't see it loaded.

Do you have to reboot into windows before you post? That would explain some things.

Maybe just installing and using 9.10 isn't a bad idea after all.

[waterhead]

Ok, but the problem is that I don't know who to do it :s

sudo modprobe ath5k

[luismcrd]

I had windows XP and then install ubuntu with dual boot.
Ok , but just tell me, delete 9.04 and install 9.10? Or just update?

[luismcrd]

Look, I've made the reboot again and run lsmod

You don't seem to understand. The module is not loading at boot, so you MUST MANUALLY LOAD IT, for now. After doing that, check the output of lsmod to see if it is loaded.

[luismcrd]

luis@luis-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe ath5k

Than I reboot and:

luis@luis-desktop:~$ lsmod

No No No!

Rebooting will remove the module that you just loaded! Stop rebooting after you load the module, just run the lsmod command.

[waterhead]

BTW, what is in that ndiswrapper file that the warning is talking about. Open it up and post the contents.

gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper
