Hey, I am linux newbie... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
And I am very happy to get my hands on linux and especially my favourite... LINUX MINT.. Such a cool thing.


I googled a lot and atlast found a way to make my atheros ar5007 wireless driver work..

I use compat wireless to load the ath5k drivers. :)
I go to the compat wireless directory and run

Code: Select all

sudo make load ath5k
And everything works fine. :roll: :roll: :D :D :D
My Problem is

I HAVE TO LOAD THE DRIVER EVERYTIME I BOOT-UP MY LAPTOP. :( :( :( :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Can anyone help me in loading the driver at startup...???? :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
I am using Linux Mint Gloria.

Thank you in advance..
