[Ubuntu教學] Atheros AR2425/AR5007EG無線網卡驅動

我的ThinkPad R61用的是Atheros 的無線網卡,Ubuntu預設的驅動跑不起來。
Google一番以後我在Ubuntu Forum中發現了解決的方法
===============正文開始===============
1.首先你必須要有有線網路,否則之後的很多軟體都無法取得。
2.先確認是否有安裝該裝的軟體:build-essential, linux-restricted-modules, subversion, 請在終端機輸入以下指令:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install subversion

3.如果你有安裝並使用ndiswrapper,記得把他關掉
4.接下來請到系統>>管理>>硬體驅動程式, 把所有Atheros的驅動程式都勾掉(取消),然後重開機
5.重開機完就可以來安裝新的驅動程式了,在終端機輸入以下指令:
svn co https://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6
cd ~/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -ae
sudo modprobe ath_pci
echo ath_hal | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo ath_pci | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

6.最後再到系統>>管理>>硬體驅動程式把Atheros的驅動程式都勾起來,重開機
7.每次更新完kernel之後都要重複以上步驟,建議你不要把下載下來的檔案刪掉,這樣每次更新kernel之後只要輸入以下指令:
cd ~/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6
make clean
sudo make install

這樣就可以用啦!

如果還是連不上的話,可以參考http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo
