    Well on my cheap laptop with Intrepid I did a lshw -C network and 
got this for my effort to connect to a WiFi internet.

  *-network UNCLAIMED
       description: Ethernet controller
       product: AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter
       vendor: Atheros Communications Inc.
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci at 0000:02:00.0
       version: 01
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix cap_list
       configuration: latency=0

I gather the kernel driver for this device is un-availium on Linux. It 
seems to work ok for Windows.  What must I do to get WiFi on my Intrepid?
