Hello all,
I was given a Toshiba laptop today for work I did on another laptop and
decided to see how it ran Trisquel GNU/Linux. Much to my surprise it seems
to be able to support Trisquel nearly completely because it has the Qualcomm
Atheros AR242x / AR542x chipset.
It had said that wifi was on and working ,but for some reason it didn't seem
to be able to search for my broadcasted SSID.
Because it was doing that I decided to use the keyboard key to stop and
restart wifi by hitting "fn+f8". Now it says it's disabled and will not come
back on.
Any thoughts on how I can get the full functionality of this wifi adapter in
Trisquel.
Some info on the system that may or may not help:
Toshiba L45-S4687
Intel Pentium dual-core T2080
Mobile Intel 943GML Express Chipset
1GB of DDR2 RAM
Qualcomm Atheros 802.11 b/g wireless adapter (AR242x / AR542x according to
lspci)
Trisquel GNU/Linux 7.0 Belenos version of Trisquel that I am running.
Thanks for the help in advance!
