AFAICT, your laptop model contains an Atheros 802.11n PCI-E chipset (168C:002A) [1]. Support for these chipsets was not included in mainline kernels until 2.6.27-rc3. The kernel supplied in Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 is 2.6.26. > How do I go about fixing. You are required to install and use a later kernel version for support of your wireless LAN device.
