This is your card. It should be and appears to be using the ath5k driver.

If you could actually ask a question it would be easier to answer. That and the fact you attached your output as a word document are probably the reasons no one else has responded in the past 11 hours.

If you use code tags, I believe it should get around the link problem. Otherwise, use plain text files only.

Sorry I literally forgot to ask my question.

I have Fedora 12, and I go to the connection menu and type in the SSID and hit OK. But I don't see anywhere to actually turn on or attempt to connect to a network.
