I am not really familiar with the Linux Wi-Fi configuration. It may work well, but I cannot configure it correctly. I think the Atheros card is working - my Windows Wi-Fi works very well using the Atheros chip set. I don't know the different address numbers for Linux, nor how to find those. First I click on the signal icon on the upper task bar. That displays some grayed text "No network devices available" and a clickable "VPN Connections." That takes me to another menu to "Configure VPN..." Then I am at a "Networks Connections" menu. After I open the Wireless tab, I see my previously attempt called mylinux. I open the edit mylinux. Connect Automatically is checked. I see my SSID, Mode, BSSID, MAC address, and MTU. In the "Wireless Security: tab, I inserted my Wireless Security password and I used "WPA & WPA2 Personal" from my Security drop-down list. "IPv4 Settings" method is set to "Automatic (DHCP)." "IPv6 Settings" method is set to "Ignore." I just do not know what to use for my initial Wireless tab configuration - SSID, Mode, BSSID, MAC address, and MTU. What are these settings? How and where can I find that information? Thank you. Jim --- In [email protected], Roy <linuxcanuck@...> wrote: > > Atheros generally works well.
