Thanks bro

 

Slax popcorn has a lot of the wifi drivers installed. Your first mission is finding out which drivers you need for the hardware and then getting them installed

 

well my laptop has an Atheros AR5007EG Netwok card inside the laptop, and how would i go about installing Slax popcorn on a boot disk? cause i know nuthing about linux, or boot disks .... =P

 

sorry about the doubble post but what is Slax popcorn

 

You are in for a very long ride then.. wireless and linux don't mix that well.

1. Dowload Wireless_Atheros ZIP drivers and unzip to temp directory (i.e. /Wifi )
here

2. Download latest Ndiswrapper driver:
NDISwrapper - Home

3. open terminal and untar Ndiswrapper*.gz
tar xfvz ndis*.gz

4. goto Ndiswrapper folder
cd ndis*

5. Install Ndiswrapper
sudo make
sudo make install

6. remove the module ath_pci to let ndiswrapper to use the wifi
sudo rmmod ath_pci

7. blacklist of modprobe to avoid it loading on the startup
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist -common
#roll to the bottom of the list and add the following line:
blacklist ath_pci
#Key: Ctrl+X to exit
#Key: Y to confirm save file

8. Reboot

9. After kenerl loaded open terminal and go to Atheros folder to install the driver
cd /wifi
sudo ndiswrapper -i net5112.inf

10. install to probe
ndiswrapper -m

11. load ndiswrapper everytime startup
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
echo "ndiswrapper" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

12. At this point wireless enable, press the wireless key on keyboard.

guide from one of those stupid sudo using distros...

 

this helps alot thanks, but will this be a boot disk??

 

slax is a boot disk if that is what you mean.

d/l the wifi stuff to a flash drive where it will run from quite happily once you are booted.

 

is there any way that i could hace you call me cause im a noob so ill need to have you explain it better so if you can that would be great....

haha that was funny that noob shirt

 

If you want to try catching me online (don't know much about wireless stuff TBH) I can usually be found on irc.villageirc.net #juliaskitchen or #linux-chat
