(*) Notes and recipes
Graphics acceleration/3D
* Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron) automatically finds and downloads an ATI restricted driver. You only need to open the restricted hardware drivers tool, activate it and reboot.
Compiz desktop effects
* Works, but system becomes unstable.
Correct audio volume
* Microphone is so low.
Wireless NIC
Automatically offered driver doesn't run well.
- With Synaptic, install the package "build-essential"
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.
Download a different MadWifi package from http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz
With a console, move to the directory where have downloaded the new MadWifi package
sudo tar -xzvf madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz
cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current/
sudo make
Install the new specific driver: sudo make install
- Restart the computer.
Open again the restricted drivers manager (jockey) and enable only the wireless support for Atheros. Leave "Atheros Hardware Access Layer - HAL" disabled.
