I have the Atheros AR5BXB63.  Sorry I'm asking for a lot of help, but if you guys can lead me along, I'd be really grateful to get my wireless going. At least I feel I'm going to learn a lot.  Thanks, Mike DThomas@metrocourt.state.nm.us wrote: I have to agree 64 bit is just not ready for day to day use.

I currently have Vista on my laptop. Aspire 5520-5912 AMD Turlon 64x2 Mobile Technology NVIDIA GeForce 7000M Signal Up Wireless 160GB HD I don't want Vista. I just don't like it. I really want to get away from Microsoft and go totally to Linux Ubuntu. I created the CD from the iso file and I checked the install CD and no errors. I'm trying to install the 64 bit version 7.10, but I'm getting the HAL Status 13 message. If anyone needs output like using 'dmesg', let me know how to get this for you for troubleshooting and I will. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks again for the assistance. Any ideas oh Ubuntu gurus?
