No wireless driver (SOLVED)

[norm.h]

I have installed Mint 13 (Mate) on a brand new Novatech nSpire laptop, and there doesn't seem to be a driver for the wifi.

lspci shows the Network Controller as an Atheros 0037 (rev 1)

I followed the instructions in Post 35 of this thread, but it failed

The thread you link to has the answer but you will need to check your versions are the same and work though everything carefully. I doubt there is anything more we could suggest other than wait for mint 14 or get a different adapter. Have you read the entire thread?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have read all the thread, and I will do as you suggest.

As suggested by Remoulder, the answer lay in the link given in my OP.
The final solution (for me, anyway) is in the last few posts in that thread.
