I’m not home at the moment when I get home later I will check the file to make sure it has all files needed.

I tried to follow your steps but could not get this file wiht your download – NetMW14x.inf

How can I get that file ???

Did you run it as described what options?

Rev. [mad]Berry

You can get though by this way (at least this works for my ThinkPad T400 with ubuntu 8.10). After make install and make unload, before make load, here is what you have to do:

cd /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/updates
sudo mv net/mac80211/mac80211.ko net/mac80211/mac80211-bak.ko
sudo cp lbm_cw-cfg80211.ko net/mac80211/mac80211.ko
sudo mv net/wireless/cfg80211.ko net/wireless/cfg80211-bak.ko
sudo cp lbm_cw-mac80211.ko net/wireless/cfg80211.ko

For those cases that not works, Hope this will help.

Had tried everything else without luch, was about to give up and then found your info.

Followed the tutorial and hey presto! working wireless……..

Thanks very much.

Well, I had to deviate slightly. For example, I had two tar files, and when untarred they gave two different directories. As the cd command can take only one argument, your cd compat-wireless-* command fails. I ended up deleting the older version, and just using the newer one, and it seemed to work.

ath5k needs adding to /etc/modules BEFORE the reboot you mention, also.

It was easy to follow and efficient.
It worked fine on my FS V6505 with Ubuntu 9.04.

God bless you!

cat /etc/issue:
Ubuntu 8.10 \n \l

iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

pan0 no wireless extensions.

iwlist wlan0 scanning:
wlan0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.

this method worked for me…..I tried all the above methods also without luck.

short story: my ATI radeon Xpress will not use openGL in ubuntu 9.04
solution: went back to 8.10…and used the ‘unsupported’ proprietary FGLRX driver

NEW Problem!!:
8.10 will not work with my atheros wireless card.
solution:
tried everything from. NDIS wrapper, MadWifi, proprietary drivers. arrrrhhhhhhggghhh.
short of getting a USB wireless card and using that instead of by built-in card.

Real Solution:
follow the steps above in this article!

Thank you SOOOOOO much MadBerry!!!!!
Been learning with many different linux distros since ubuntu 7.10 caught my with Beryl, emerald and compiz. and due to the frustration and many lonely weekends wasted of so many incompatibilities over the years I was ready to give it up and stay with XPsp3 or Windows 7. But you save the day.

I get the same as this iwlist scanning below (pasted from above)…

What’s going on with the IE: Unknown? If I turn on encryption I get 1 line in the middle of the IEs unknown, showing my encryption, but still no association with the AP

I suspect wireless N compatibity with the Ath5k.. Do we know if the ath5k works with wireless N routers??? Wireless N is supposed to be backwards compatible….

How many people on these forums have wireless N routers???

Any advice welcomed

many thanks

I’ll admit that I haven’t read through all the comments and I’ll try doing that next, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.
