I found after a fresh Intrepid install for unrelated reasons :-( that my steps above got wireless working, but I was having intermittent problems with throughput. I added a file with "blacklist ath_pci" to a file in /etc/modprobe.d and things seem much better now. If this is the only thing needed to make the backport stable it would be great to add it to the install scripts and get this driver into the distribution.
Like decoherence I agree it would be great to know what the problem was and if any on this thread can help. BTW thanks decoherence for the modprobe suggestion. As I recall modprobe worked (I could see the driver running with lsmod), but even when it was running if I right-clicked the Network Manager panel applet I didn't have an "Enable wireless" checkbox. I'll try this again if I ever get into this state again... -- ath5k driver missing after latest intrepid update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289014 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
