"Support for Atheros 802.11 WLAN cards"? I don't think so!

**calvinps** · March 16th, 2009

Hi all!

When I looked on my hardware drivers thing on Intrepid, it says that it has support for the card I described above.

But when I put the details of my broadband modem into the network configuration thingy, nothing happens. I am using a wired connection just the now.

Can anyone provide a solution for this? Thanks

I did lshw -class network and here are the results:
