Hi All,
I recently installed Fedora core 9 X86_64 on my system. Which is an Acer Aspire 4520. I have been trying to get my wi-fi card working. But have been unable to do it so far. I have googled for the same but could not get any definite answers.
My Wi-fi card is an
Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter however linux displays it as
Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter . I do not if that is correct or fedora is not able to detect it.
I previously installed FC9 i686. But could not get my card to work on that either. I do not have a wired connection around me so cant get to connect to internet when using fedora.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
The output of lspci, iwconfig and iwlist on the system are as follows:
