Hi there!

I have a Lenovo Z360 and I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed (32bit as well as 64bit). I have an Atheros 9825 WLAN controller, but it does not work in either of those OS.

lspci | grep Wir

I am rather new to Linux (10.10 is the first distribution I use).
I have tried several workarounds (all of them were supposed to work on older Kernels), but none of them worked for me.
If you need any additional information, just let me know.

Cheers and thanks for any help!

I'm having the same problem. Did you get it figured out?

No, not yet. I think, this should be moved to the networking forums, wasn't aware of that when I opened this topic.

Didn't have access to the internet during the last days. I'll check that site out and see whether it is of any help to me.
Cheers.
