I'm trying to make the @#$%@#% wireless card to work and nothing I do helps (me being new to linux doesn't help either). I'm running the latest Ubuntu version (8.04?)
here are some outputs (having read a zillion posts I figure some outputs might help you):
iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.

irda0 no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wifi0 no wireless extensions.

go to system->administration->network and set ath0 to DHCP mode.. then give a ifconfig output again.. i presume you are already connected to the Our_Home_Net network
