With Synaptic, install the package "build-essential" 1. Check if Ubuntu has already detected and enabled the Atheros drivers that come with repositories, with the tool for ''restricted hardware drivers'' (jockey). Disable all elements related with Atheros. 1. Download a different MadWifi package from http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz 1. With a console, move to the directory where have downloaded the new MadWifi package 1. '''sudo tar -xzvf madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz''' 1. '''cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current/''' 1. '''sudo make''' 1. Install the new specific driver: '''sudo make install''' 1. Restart the computer. 1. Open again the ''restricted drivers manager'' (jockey) and enable only the wireless support for Atheros. Leave "Atheros Hardware Access Layer - HAL" disabled. Note: The task to download the MadWifi package does not work while there is no such file on internet. === Toucpad === * By default the pointer moves very slow. == See also == * Check for an up-to-date howto to get most of the hardware on this notebook working at the ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=610603 ---- CategoryLaptop
