Re: [gNewSense-users] USB Wireless Adapter

Hi,

I don't know if it was the newer kernel or the firmware/driver, but it worked!

Thanks!

Run dmesg, see if it mentions DEBLOBBED or missing Free firmware after
the card is inserted.

If it does, you need a newer kernel like from
http://jxself.org/linux-libre/.

Do you have the firmware installed?  You can get it from
e.g. http://jxself.org/ath9k-htc/ and copy to /lib/firmware.

If this works, you can use Network Manager to connect it.
