atheros ar5007eg on satellite u305-5077
Hi all
I got problem with my wireless on my Toshiba Satellite U305-5077. Even I tried many times with solutions in several threads I got no success. As I looked at Windows, the information about my card is: Atheros Ar5007EG. Some reports said that madwifi doesn't support AR5007EG (it supports most of atheros chips but not this one). I tried using Ndiswrapper and used "net5211.inf" from XP driver (32 bit) as it is suggested in some threads. I failed ... Here is what I did: Step 1: Disable ath_pci sudo rmmod ath_pci sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-common add the following line at the end of the file blacklist ath_pci Save and close Restart computer step 2. remove old ndiswrapper by using synaptics Step 3: Build essentials Use the synaptic package manager Install the package called "build-essential" in the group called "Development" But I already got it installed Step 4: Install Ndiswrapper. Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=93482 Download ndiswrapper-1.47.tar.gz to folder /home/username Code: cd /home/username/ sudo tar xvzf ndiswrapper-1.47.tar.gz cd /home/username/ndiswrapper-1.47/ sudo make sudo make install Step 5: Load drivers with ndiswrapper. sudo ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf installing net5211 ... forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 forcing parameter MapRegisters from 256 to 64 ........ a lot of lines like above... then: sudo ndiswrapper -l net5211 : driver installed device (168C:001C) present (alternate driver: ath_pci) Step 6: Load ndiswrapper and check if it worked sudo modprobe ndiswrapper Check it: iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. Then I did: sudo ndiswrapper -m After reboot I got no wireless. I asked for help in some threads but haven't got answer yet. Hope I get some idea here. Thanks |
