Re: Ubuntu Linux help in >> this thread <<

Sooo i followed http://dimitar.me/madwifi-drivers-fo...-29-and-above/

And got nothing, would not see any wireless at all.
So i closed the netbook and left it and I have'nt used it until today.

I was in another location and noticed that I could see some access points again.
I just got home 2 mins ago turned on the netbook and BAM wireless access!!!!

Excellent

Im well happy but im really tempted to wipe it and see if it was a fluke.
Hmmmmmm decisions!

<---- Oooooh my 1,000th post excellent

for those that are interested I performed this on a blank install.
I ran the updates and this broke wireless completely.

I had to run sudo make and sudo make install again from the madwifi directory i downloaded.

Then sudo modprobe ath_pci

I have'nt restarted yet that comes in a minute, wish me luck.
