I installed the windows driver with ndiswrapper.
I'm not really sure what kind of card it is. Windows tells me it's a ar5007eg, Ubuntu says it's a ar242x. Both cards seem to use the same driver anyways, so I don't think it matters, but I tried both of them anyway, and they both do the same thing. The drivers install fine, it says the hardware is present, but the module wont load. Here is the message from /var/log
Code:

I'm out of Ideas. I tried different drivers x86, x64. Different versions of 8.04 x86 x64.
The newer versions of ubuntu don't have commercial support for the video card on this one.
Any help would be appreciated.
