    Re: Atheros AR5007 not working on 8.04 Hardy

    I just setup my AR5007EG... Here's how I got it working in Gutsy, and it worked just fine in Hardy also, with some minor modifications...

    For what its worth, my device is a AR5007EG, but it is misdetected as

    Code:
    06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

    I went to Hardware drivers, and disabled HAL, but left "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless Lan cards" enabled. This option was never there in Gutsy. Then I restarted and used the instructions and patch for the madwifi driver in the link above, and plugged in my network settings. Works fine w/ WPA, etc.

    Edit: As mentioned, Not sure how this will work on 64bit, it worked fine on 32bit. Laptop is a Acer Aspire 5315-2153
