WiFi card not enabled on Elyssa

[marianogedisman]

Hello all,
I have Mint Elyssa and I can see the net5211 windows driver on the system (HAL and support for Atheros LAN cards is checked on the Hardware drivers window) however, I cannot see it on the Network settings window.

Quite weird, since I was able to install it with no problem before, but I forgot how I did it!

Help will be much appreciated.

Cheers.

PS: Everytime I try to install the windows driver the systems gets TOTALLY frozen.
