ath_pci, ndiswrapper & blacklist

[Santiago Hernández Lemes]

I think that the best way to install Atheros on your system is using
MadWifi, created for the Atheros Wireless.
In case you have to install them with ndiswrapper, check this way, it worked
for me:

Blacklist ATH PCI

sudo echo "blacklist ath_pci" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

sudo ndiswrapper -i yourdriver.inf

Add ndiswrapper to the autoloading list

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo echo "ndiswrapper" >> /etc/modules


Regards!
