Network manager doesn't detect wi-fi

[Hadaka]

Hi, this will make it load the driver when you boot.

sudo su
 echo ath9k >> /etc/modules
exit

you will have to modify that file again to use hostpd
I have no experience with hostpd so i cant off any
ideas. If you get stuck, please open a new thread
and ask for help.
*If you are satisfied with how it is now
please use thread tools and mark this solved
thanks.

This is what your /etc/newtork/interfaces
looked like and NOT working..
--------------------------------------------------------------

victor@perceval:~$ cat /etc/network/interface
auto lo br0
iface lo inet loopback
# wireless wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
# eth0 connected to the ISP router
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth1 inet manual
----------------------------------------------

you may have a typo or something simple that can be
eaisly corrected, I am sorry I cant't help you, as
I have no experience with hostapd...perhaps someone
else would care to chime in.
thanks again.
