Hello Adrian Malacoda and akirashinigami,
Attached is the output of lspci and screen grabs of nettools for your
inspection. The computer is an Acer Aspire One model number ZG5, the wireless
chip is an AtherosAR5BXB63, past successful wifi drivers (in other OS's) were
11g_ath_pci and ath5k (I've not yet figured out how to call up a driver
listing for Trisquel).
I've checked the firewall to see if it is interfering with network use. They
are present but inactive...netfilter and ufw.
The nettool information show packets being sent, none being received. All
relevant ports are open. Yet ethernet works well, packets being sent and
received.
Note the attachment 'devices' gives wlan0 address 10.42.43.1 and 'ping' to
10.42.43.1 shows 5 attempts. Doing the same for the bbc.co.uk address shows
no packets transmitted and no Seq No, while traceroute is also different.
From here on I'm lost.
Thank you both for trying to help.
Phyckel
