Hmm, the Atheros wireless chipsets seem to have good support in

I have an abit airpace (desktop wlan card) with an atheros chipset.
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG
802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
I could not get this to work.
the hal refuses to load on this chipset, cause the subsystem IDs (!!)
are not known to it. openhal doesn't support it, so also no luck.
Hmmm, I never went through HAL for wireless support. I downloaded and
compiled the WiFi drivers. But I don't have that chipset or 64-bit
hardware - the 64-bit hardware might be the source of the problem.
the last resort was ndiswrapper, so i tried to d/l some generic xp64
drivers for this chipset, but you guessed - it also doesn't work.
Probably a victim of trying to run 32-bit software (ndiswrapper) under
64-bit Linux. Or is there a 64-bit version of ndiswrapper?
and i can't use the original drivers from abit, cause they were smart
enough to stick all files in an installshield sfx. unshield doesn't
work,
Perhaps orange would?
and under wine explains me that it it found no drivers.
WINE is 32-bit, perhaps it's looking for 32-bit drivers, not 64-bit.
Sounds like 64-bit doesn't quite have as much driver support as it should.
