I was thinking i got out of the whole deal way too easy. To make it stick each time i boot, i ran this: Code: sudo sh -c "echo 'options ath5k nohwcrypt' >/etc/modprobe.d/custom-wireless.conf" Honestly, i don't remember the outcome immediately after i did it, but everything was still working. After a reboot the wireless was again not working. now, if i run Code: sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt i get: Code: FATAL: Error inserting ath5k (/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/updates/cw/ath5k.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) if i run: Code: sudo sh -c "echo 'options ath5k nohwcrypt' >/etc/modprobe. d/custom-wireless.conf" i get nothing maybe i made a typo in the second thing i ran?? what the heck did it do? any help is appreciated, i really have no idea what i'm doing. thanks, Jamin Adv Reply Quick Navigation Networking & Wireless Top Site Areas Settings Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home Forums The Ubuntu Forum Community Ubuntu Official Flavours Support New to Ubuntu General Help Asus Ubuntu Support (CLOSED) Dell Ubuntu Support (CLOSED) Ubuntu One (CLOSED) Installation & Upgrades Hardware Desktop Environments Networking & Wireless Multimedia Software Ubuntu Studio Mythbuntu Ubuntu Specialised Support Ubuntu Phone and Tablet Ubuntu Development Version Security Virtualisation Ubuntu Servers, Cloud and Juju Server Platforms Ubuntu

When I try and manually connect with wpa_supplicant it just times out. I can get the wpa_supplicant message if it's relevant but lets just get this down before ndiswrapper locks my system! :) Comment 1 Luis R.
