Request for Atheros AR5005G wireless

Post by BakUp »

Under the Windows Wireless Drivers option, I would like very much to see AR5005G. I can not find any site to download the .sys & .inf

It would make it much easer just to have it added to Mints Windows Wireless, that is my request !

This was what I found for AR5005g(not sure if it will work.)

The files was extracted from here

I thought that linux-restricted-modules-2.*.*-*-generic should work with these cards.
Also Wicd should make setting it up easier.

I'll check those out merlwiz79.........thanks

For the time being anyway, I have installed PCLgnome on my Acer Aspire 3680-2633 laptop and it recognized my wireless instantly, no setting up what so ever.
My Linux Distros:
sidux - Parsix - DreamLinux - Mint
