Thread: 10.04 Atheros AR9485 168c:0032 Wireless not working
ok bought new laptop, asus x53e , has atheros ar9485 198c:0032 wireless chipset on , can't seem work. wifi light wont turn on, doesn't show under ifconfig or iwconfig , when tried going hardware drivers didn't show anything. managed lan working fine i'm happy about, need wireless! please if have suggestions i'm willing try @ point!
oh , tried doing ndiswrapper, no matter tried couldn't seem windows driver .inf file no matter looked. other driver noticed though atheros ar8185 driver , got work i'm assuming lan hhaha
one quick thought:
keyboard have fn key on bottom left corner of keyboard (probably next ctrl key)? plus, 1 of f1 through f12 keys have antenna on it? if so, depress fn key , depress f? key turn wifi on.
laptops have hardware key (linked fn key) turn on wifi , software doesn't pick up. on zareason mini, wifi hardware key fails stay on after shut down, reboot or log out. since fn key not recognized software, needs manually turned on.
luck & hope helps. if not, member solutions.
