Thanks so much, got this to work on my Acer Aspire 5314L50. After running this command and rebooting, I just clicked on the network icon by the clock and all the wireless networks were there!

OMG you’re my hero! For two days now I’ve been trying to connect through wireless and FINALLY got it with this:

1.sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic

That’s all I had to do.

Thank you

Hi Sam & others
thanks to Shannon VanWagner (http://humans-enabled.com) I found this post and it worked perfectly for my HP Pavilion dv5-1050ee AMD Turion 64 bit X2 Ultra.
Am a new user to Ubuntu and am slowly gathering pearls from the Linux gurus – Shannon, Sam and others. Kudos .., keep it going

Hello there

THANKS !!!!

Having installed wubi 8.10 and trying all the hints i could find, I still wasn’t able to use my wlan Atheros 5413 card…

Last effort was connecting a 30 foot cable, update and installing backports.

The last thing to make my loong cable obsolete was your good advice.

Pretty steep learning curve, though I have been working with Linux some years ago

You just made my smile a lot bigger 8->

I’m working on an HP G60-235DX and I’ve got it functioning per your instructions. To get it to work is a bit of a kludge as I have to stop and start the driver (which continually says it is in use; even when I deactivate it), manually start a search for a network and then push the wireless button which doesn’t change color to acknowledge off or on. It then finds all the networks except the one I told it to connect; at least it shows no signal. It then connects to the network as instructed. If I could eliminate the stopping and restarting of the driver that would be a good start. Any suggests?
