Public bug reported:
I am very new to ubuntu 8.10 I have installed all updates, naturally network
wired works, I have no Network manager module under System / Administration.
I have an HP Pavillion dv6915nr with Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x
802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) and the option for wireless
will not come up. I have tried to google and found many things about going
back to another driver.
I have this laptop dual booted with Windows Vista Home Premium and am really
getting used to ubuntu 8,10 but really need some help with wireless connecting.
I have read some posts about issuing commands from terminal and going back to
another driver (module) or madwifi.
The only driver I have are the 802.11 Atheros lan card and I did get the
Nvidia 177 module installed for the vidio.
Thanks and sorry for the bother, but I really like the ubuntu.
