Hi,
I need some help from installing Atheros wireless driver.[[BR]]
I am using UBUNTU 8.04 Desktop Edition, Driver madwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz and
Atheros Wireless Card.[[BR]]
I have follow the MadWifi 'First Time User' HOWTO guide and stopped half
way.[[BR]]
I have did a search and found quite a number of user facing the problem
but non helped me.[[BR]]
At first I get this error[[BR]]
''[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ahhup/Desktop/madwifi/scripts# ./madwifi-
unload.bash[[BR]]
FATAL: Module wlan is in use.[[BR]]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ahhup/Desktop/madwifi/scripts#'' [[BR]]
but from iwconfig, there is no wifi[[BR]]
''[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ahhup/Desktop/madwifi/scripts# iwconfig[[BR]]
lo no wireless extensions.[[BR]]
eth0 no wireless extensions.[[BR]]

Then i proceed to install and I get the error message ''"wlanconfig:
ioctl: No such device"''[[BR]]
