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.
