I am trying to set up the wireless card in Lenny on an Acer Aspire One ZG5.
Linpus has no problems, but the sooner I can wipe it off the hard drive the
happier I shall be. :-(
I have wicd 1.6.2.2 (bzr -r463) installed. I have installed the Atheros 5
driver module and now get the following results from lshw and modprobe -l:
Cronos:/home/lisi# lshw | grep ath
configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k_pci
latency=0 module=ath5k multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11
Cronos:/home/lisi# modprobe -l | grep ath
/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/kernel/drivers/md/multipath.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/net/ath_rate_amrr.ko
Cronos:/home/lisi#
But wireless still does not work. I.e., I cannot get on the internet without
a wired connection, and wicd reports:
No wireless networks found.
I am at a loss where to go next. :-( Googling, and a pointer from a friend to
the relevant page on the Debian Wiki, got me this far, but are of no further
assistance.
Any suggestions? I really want to wipe that horrible* Linpus and rely on
Debian.
Thanks,
Lisi
