Atheros cards need a wifi driver installing, because they don't have the
right ones by default. My fix for this was to *do sudo apt-get install
linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic* while connected to the internet
through a wire, or install off the Intrepid CD, which got her Atheros
wireless card running straight away.
Hope that might be of some use to you!

Marco, can you view the wifi networks, or are you not getting anything for =
wifi? <br><br>From my experience putting Intrepid on my sisters laptop (a F=
ujitsu V5355), Atheros cards need a wifi driver installing, because they do=
