Atheros AR5004G Wireless not recognized

[Guest Liveandletlive]

I have Toshiba A75-S206 laptop with a built in wireless card (Atheros AR5004G Wireless Network Adapter). I installed Mandrake 10.1 yesterday. I have been searching various forums to see how to make Mandrake recognise this card. Its not there in the lists given by NDISWrapper or MadWIFI.

 

I am very very new to linux. Can you please help me?

 

Without wireless, it will be difficult to use the laptop at home.

 

I dont want to go back to XP.

About ndiswrapper, you shouldn´t need it to be in any ´list´ as it´s essentially designed to run the native windows drivers on linux. Just download the latest drivers from the website, and follow the install instructions on http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php

ndis has been working just fine for me on my atheros 5213

good luck :)

I have the entire installer for Windows, but it contains setup file. It does not have separate ".int" files as given in the FAQ. Where do I get that from?

 

thanks

if you run it, does it extract itself somewhere?

Extract it with

 

wine Setup.exe

 

And that should get you going using the above link as an example.
