I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 , but i faced a problem that couldn't use wireless connection , so i was obliged to read many articles to solve this problem , and this is a simple and easy way for you to install Wireless card on this Netbook or any laptop that use Atheros wireless card .
Install Madwifi for Atheros :
Open the 'terminal' by navigating through Applications-->Accessories--> Terminal
Now type the following commands in terminal
1.
Code:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
2.
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
Code:
sudo apt-get install subversion
Code:
sudo -i
Code:
sudo svn checkout http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng
Code:
cd madwifi-ng
Code:
echo "" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Code:
echo "#Remove To Install MadWIFI Drivers" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Code:
echo "blacklist ath9k" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Code:
echo "blacklist ath5k" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Code:
make && make install
Code:
echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules
It should work
Well i use Wicd to connect to the wireless modem
To install Wicd type the following commands in terminal
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Code:
sudo apt-get install wicd
Kernal updates of your system will kill your driver. Well no need to worry about that.Just recompile your driver.
For that you open a terminal and type the command
Code:
sudo -i
