I have a 4 yr old toshiba satelite with an atheros wifi and I just cant get my wifi to work. I beleive that the problem is with the Non-free Linux 2.6.24 modules on x86/x86_64 that I updated via synaptic. While trying to unistall this package b/c it did not solve my wifi problem I get an error saying that not all changes and updates succeeded. So I open the terminal and it says:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 11916 package `evince':
`Depends' field, missing package name, or garbage where package name expected
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
If someome can walk me thru how to fix my wifi so it will work I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
