Wireless on Ubuntu

Hey I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop its the eurocom m570ru divine-x built off the clevo m570ru, the wireless card in it is Gigabyte GN-WI06N-RH: PCIe mini card and I tried to install the windows wireless drivers using this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 and changing a few of the commands but it wouldnt work for me. I was wondering if any one would be able to tell me how to install the drivers for it.

 

Ok,
The gigabyte GN series is using an atheros based chipset. Don't waste your time with ndiswrapper, look into using madwifi, or even openhal/ath5k.

Not sure what the config is like on ubuntu, on fedora we get ath5k due to bleeding edge wireless toys.

Also, check in on the irc room at freenode: #madwifi



I would give you some further instructions, but I don't run ubuntu.

 

I tired using this guide given on the site http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
but i only got to the creating interface step and after the first command in this step i got the msg wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device

 

Later on when I get home I will see about helping you out a bit more, doing a walkthrough like this on a forum can be a pain in the rear end.

 

I managed to get my wireless to work but when i was editing my restricted modules i screwed up my nvidia drivers i uninstalled and reinstalled them through envy but i cannot make my resolution any higher then 640by480 every thing in the restricted drivers module seems to be correct. I am going to post this problem in a different section

 

I just resolved this problem by going to screens and graphics and changing my display to type to lcd widescreen and the proper resolution I'm not sure if this is the proper way to solve this problem but it worked lol. thx for your help
