Marco, can you view the wifi networks, or are you not getting anything for wifi?
>From my experience putting Intrepid on my sisters laptop (a Fujitsu V5355), Atheros cards need a wifi driver installing, because they don't have the right ones by default. My fix for this was to *do sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic* while connected to the internet through a wire, or install off the Intrepid CD, which got her Atheros wireless card running straight away. Hope that might be of some use to you! 2009/4/8 Farran Lee <fazzy.bab...@ntlworld.com> > On Wed, 2009-04-08 at 16:12 +0100, Matt Jones wrote: > > No??
