Hi there.
I'm having an issue with an Atheros AR5B97 wireless card.
I installed the deltah version and upgraded the linux kernel to a version with ath9k drivers but it's still not recognized. It don't appear in the network devices list when i use 'ifconfig' or 'iwconfig' commands or the graphical interface. Even the command 'lspci' shows it as an unknown device, being able to show the device manufacturer though.
My laptop is a Packard Bell Easynote TK85-GN-381PT. Can the problem be the laptop itself? I bought a Packard Bell because that brand is known to be highly compatible with Linux operating systems.
