You're better off asking at the Ubuntu Forums. The web address for them is, http:/www.ubuntuforums.org . This is a Debian mailing list after all and Ubuntu seems to be diverging more and more from Debian with each release. Anyway though you need to see first of all whether or not it's detected correctly. The output of the lspci and dmesg commands will tell you that. Also your card is one of the Atheros cards so it should be supported by the madwifi drivers. Try installing the 'linux-restricted-modules-xxxx' package via Synaptic, where xxxx is your Kernel image's name. If your card is correctly detected you can enable it in GNOME in the networking options in the system menu and the Gnome Network Manager should then connect fine. That's all I can recommend really, I switched from Debian to Ubuntu about a year ago and have recently come back to Debian. Like I said though you'll be better off asking the on the official Ubuntu support channels rather than the Debian ones. regards, Ananda Samaddar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
