for people have done post wifi working when update kernel in ubuntu wifi not work anymore , have compile new kernel
have cd in madwifi sorces dir launch make clean && make && make install , , have wireless devices again
first rebuilt atheros driver. if followed intructions above @ terminal prompt can change driver directory this:
code:
cd ~/madwifi/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6
clean out old make settings built match new kernel:
code:
make clean
build driver
code:
make
don't know if it's necessary might place remove old driver running kernel:
code:
sudo modprobe -r ath_pci
install driver:
code:
sudo make install
tried reloading ath_pci module modprobe still wouldn't work. think reboot necessary @ point.
should work after reboot. luck.
