hello, I want to tell I've found a way to make it work.Originally Posted by pippo_jedi
the problem is that the acpi shipped with hardy isn't working good and the is bug open on it(or so I understood).
now I have my fn+f2 configured and it 'wake up' the wlan card, so wicd can make it work.
thank you.
if you have the same notebook (asus a7d) and have problems feel free to contact me

Sorry, I've been away from the internet for a bit. I will try the suggested drivers, and once I get it working, I will definitely let you know what worked. Here is my lsmod:

Tried the latest driver you suggested, restarted, still no wireless. lshw -C network did not show any "module=ndiswrapper" or "module=ssb." so I did the temp hardy fix. Now it shows ""module=ndiswrapper" but I still don't have any available APs. Should I try the older drivers? I will probably do that after lunch.
Here is the readout from everything i did.

users should be careful with -l in command line, as it often appears to be the number one (1)
worked well when other fwcutter fixes only allowed access to a few wireless routers

Can you post the results of:
I want to see the subvendor information for your card, kernel version, and 32/64-bit version you are using. You have a 4311 rev 02 card, but it shows a 4319 chipset so I would like to see if the subvendor matches up with the windows driver you downloaded.Code:lspci -nnm uname -a

It seems you still need to find the right driver, but in the meantime, here are your custom temporary and permanent (respectively) commands.
/etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapperCode:sudo rmmod b43 sudo rmmod ssb sudo rmmod ndiswrapper sudo modprobe ndiswrapper sudo modprobe ssb
Code:install ndiswrapper modprobe -r b43 ssb; modprobe --ignore-install ndiswrapper $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe ssb;

Yeah, it doesn't hurt to try them.You just surround the code with [ code ] [ /code ] , or click the "#" button on the post editor.Here is the readout from everything i did. I don't know how to code the fancy scrollable text boxes, so if my long posts annoy people, maybe you could fill me in.

Thanks, posts fixed.
I tried the temp, and lshw -C network now shows what I think should be good, only one wireless network, and module=ndiswrapper, but I still don't have any wireless APs. I try the other command you gave me, and it tells me permission denied.

Right, that's what the lshw is supposed to look like. It could be that the driver's not quite right, so do try the others. Before you do that, please post the output of "iwlist wlan0 scanning".
In order to edit that file (to put in the line I recommended, and to remove the previously inserted line), issue "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper"I try the other command you gave me, and it tells me permission denied.
