    [SOLVED] Atheros 5006X no wifi connection

    Hi,
    Im trying to install 8.10 beta on my HP Pavilion DV9720US laptop. First problem that i got was the wifi.
    Ive checked my wireless card, here is my everest specification: http://zaproszenia.friko.pl/Report.htm
    Then ive checkd if madwifi can handle with my wireless chipset. From the madwifi site:
    "5413 ¶

    * 5413 -- part of the 6th Generation AR5006X chipsets
    o Support for a/b/g modes
    o Support for DFS/TPC
    o Support for sleep modes
    o Support AES (OCB and CCM), TKIP and WEP hardware encryption.
    o Support for draft IEEE 802.11e, h, and j standards
    o Support for Priority based QoS (WME)
    o Supports Atheros XR™
    "
    So my wifi should work properly.
    Ive uninstalled restricted drivers which include madwifi but doesnt work properly.
    Then i typed make install and this is what i've received:
    Checking requirements... ok.

    Checking kernel configuration... ok.

    >> linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic

    Are you sure you're using the beta and not an alpha? Intrepid is currently using kernel 2.6.27-7.

    From the missing header file errors, it looks like you're missing some basic dev packages - do you have build-essential installed?
    Specs:  Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (@3Ghz), G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 1066, ASUS Striker II Formula MB, Asus EN9800GTX+ Dark Knight, ABS Tagan BZ800 PS, Antec 900 Case.

      Re: Atheros 5006X no wifi connection

      You are right. When i was downloading new version there was a huge banner "8.10 beta" but at the end i have downloaded 8.04.
      Do i have to install build-essential to install madwifi?

      I dont have now access to my kubuntu but
      Code:
      sudo apt-get install build-essential
      will solve my problems??

      ... after few hours i have sucseeded with build-essentials now when i type make install i receive:
      Code:
      sh scripts/find-madwifi-modules.sh 2.6.24-19-generic
for i in ath/ ath_hal/ ath_rate/ net80211/; do \
        make -C $i install || exit 1; \
    done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ubuntu/madwifi-0.9.4/ath'
test -d //lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/net || mkdir -p //lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/net
install ath_pci.ko //lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/net
install: cannot stat `ath_pci.ko': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ubuntu/madwifi-0.9.4/ath'

      Whats the problem??

        i guess its ok.
        But after iwconfig i still see:
        Code:
        lo    no wireless extensions.

eth0   no wireless extensions.
        Accorrding to http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo i should do modprobe ath_pci but i received:
        Code:
        FATAL: Module ath_pci not found.
        I have to admit that one command from madwifi didnt work during installation "./madwifi-unload" gave me nothin
        Code:
        bash: madwifi-unload: command not found
        Is this is the problem??
        Help me i think i'am near to the end of this war :-)
