I am very frustrated. Let me present the situation. Ubuntu 10.10, clean install (some while ago).
From this URL--
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ath9...2010.10-fixed/
--I downloaded this .deb package:
ath9k_htc-installer.1.0.1-maverick-fixed.deb 2010-10-18
I double-clicked it, Software Center came up, I clicked Install, and it installed right off. I then went to the menu and activated the installer program, which appeared to run fine, then rebooted.
In fact, everything looks fine, except that the WNA1100 blue light doesn't come on, and Network Manager reports no wireless connections.
My Linux kernel is 2.6.35-31-generic (the latest, I believe). Here are the outputs of some of the commands I see often wanted for diagnostics:

Strange, must be works!
Maybe you can try with the last driver changes.
For how to see here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...8&postcount=47
and then reboot, and see if it works!

Thank you. I'll give it a try soon now, and report results here.
Well, I looked more closely and I am not at present using compat-wireless, and I do have the very latest kernel installed. I am reluctant to add compat-wireless in when, from its documentation, it appears intended only to provide backwards support for older kernels.
From the various data readouts above, is there anything at all that doesn't look right?
Hello,
It seems to me that I am in a situation similar to post 42, since I have a clean 10.04 32 bit install. It's on an old computer (evo n800v). It's also a netgear WNA1100. I have tried several configurations, and here are the results.
In all the following situations, I am using
- version 1.3 of htc_9271.fw and htc_7010.fw in /lib/firmware, as available here : http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw/
- ar9271.fw as in post 45, also in /lib/firmware
I also have different results of lsusb, depending of ... something (but I don't know what).
