Problema de ativação do driver sem fio no Compaq c700 no Ubuntu 9.04

Question

Estou usando o Ubuntu 9.04, não consigo acessar meu driver sem fio, ative o madwifi em administração > drivers de hardware, mas também não consegui ativar o sistema sem fio.

quando eu digito lspci recebo a seguinte mensagem,

mas quando tentei no Windows, descobri que o driver do meu laptop é

################################################
atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter
################################################

então o que posso fazer para resolver este problema?

    

Answer 1

O Fórum do Ubuntu oferece a seguinte solução:

First disable Atheros Hardware Access Layer [HAL]: Go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers and uncheck Atheros Hardware Access Layer then reboot

after reboot type these into a terminal window:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz
tar xfz madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz
cd madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe ath_pci

then reboot and it should work!

Note que estas instruções são para o Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Em 9.04, você deve se conectar à internet (geralmente via ethernet) primeiro para configurar drivers sem fio proprietários. O Ubuntu não pode distribuir drivers proprietários com a instalação!

eu acho que você deve usar o utilitário ndiswrapper ...
