hey guys. A while back I bought a WPN311, as It said on here:- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Wir...ssNetworkCards
that the card worked out of the box. I learn recently that an upgrade in either feisty or gutsy broke the drivers, and it now only works with ndiswrapper, albeit flawlessly.
ok, so no problems, time to go with ndiswrapper.
I installed the drivers with ndiswrapper, and added the ndiswrapper module to boot, in /etc/modules
so i reboot. nothing. same as always, showing only a small minority of the AP's in my area.
ok, so now I do ndiswrapper -l to see if there are conflicting drivers.
aight.. thats probably my problem,
so,
reboot, wireless completely killed. doesnt even pick up the AP's that it used to. any ideas?

Code:
telos@Cynosure:~$ ndiswrapper -l
wpn311 : driver installed
device (168C:0013) present (alternate driver: ath_pci)
so,
Code:
echo 'blacklist ath_pci' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
