I seem to be the only person with wireless problems on Ubuntu on the Revo3600 ... it contains an Atheros wlan card which simply not detected by Ubuntu (I'm using Xubuntu) ... are there any tips on getting this installed -- and unbreaking the broken state I have got my modules in
My system info - Ubuntu Lucid
Code:
lspci -v

FATAL: Error inserting ath5k (/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic-pae/updates/cw/ath5k.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter
I think it is failing to insert because of some earlier efforts to compile the ath5k/9k driver manually which have failed, I am not sure where to go from here.
Code:
dmesg | tail

Can anyone give me some hints for this driver? I don't mind using ndiswrapper if it gives me the wireless-n, otherwise I would like the native Linux driver to work.....
I think the modules wont load because it was compiled against an older kernel, but how can I delete this module now?
