I managed to get the airpace working with ubuntu, but had to jump through
several hoops.
Here is what i did:
1. you need to use the windows 32bit driver... you should have 3 files
named net2425.inf, net2425.cat and aw5006.sys - make sure these are placed
somewhere you can get to them from linux
2. Make sure ndiswrapper is installed (I am using version 1.9)
3. in a terminal, run: sudo depmod -a
4. unload ndiswrapper (in case it's loaded) - in a terminal: sudo modprobe
-r ndiswrapper
5. You need to blacklist ath_pci...edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
file (you may need to alter file permissions to do that) - to the end, add
this and save the file: blacklist ath_pci
6. find ath_pci.ko in the file system, and rename it (to be sure... lol)
-you may need to alter file permissions or use sudo to rename it
7. make sure ndiswrapper has no wifi drivers... in a terminal, run:
ndiswrapper -l to make sure. If it has drivers listed, then run: sudo
ndiswrapper -r drivername
8. lets install the driver: in a terminal change directory to where the
windows drivers are located. Next, run this command: sudo ndiswrapper -i
net2425.inf
9. now, load the ndiswrapper module. In a terminal:- modprobe ndiswrapper
and thats it.... should all work.
BTW: I am a linux (very) newbie and found most of this out via google and
a lot of patience. If anyone wants help they can add me to msn and I will
try to help: aspwiz[^at^]hotmail[^dot^]com)
Good luck :)
