Comment 72 for bug 182489

I am an avid Ubuntu user and promoter, however my new laptop is having extreme problems recognizing my Atheros chipset 5007EG on a Toshiba Satellite m305d-s4831. I have spent hours with madwifi and ndiswrapper trying to get the packages to work however both my ethernet and wireless are not working even though they are being recognized by the hardware manager. It is making it an incredible headache to try to find all the packages one by one i need to get this working. Please help get a fix for this. The kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Alpha 4 Test's LAN is working great, however right now i can't access package manager or restricted drivers until the release, so I don't know if the bug is fixed yet. Please help. Oh, and the entire campus here is soon to be making the transition over to linux from windows. Thanks guys!
