PCLinuxOS: A revolution in personal computing

If you look at my thread on the Samsung NC10 (buried on page 2 of this section now) you will see how to upgrade the kernel and take the ath5k module out of the blacklist. That may be enough, obviously I don't know whether this particular one requires ath5k or ath9k.

There is also a thread on the eeepc 1005 somewhere too, that may help you.

If you have an Atheros AR928X like I have in my 1000HE, go into the repos and install ndiswrapper-netathw. In all brutal honesty, TRY THIS FIRST. If it doesn't work, it's easy to remove and if it does, you'll skip all the crazy garbage I had to go through.
