lol yea, see, Strider knows why I wanted this to work for mine, because he and I both use the How-To I wrote for x64 Atheros cards lol, and I just get tired of having to redo all the commands, everytime I upgrade to a new kernel....was hoping this was finally it lol....

Nope, still won't work, so I'm gonna try disabling the restricted driver for it, and then do the command again and reboot.....the new kernel has the drivers in it, right? so disabling the restricted driver won't prevent it from working...right? lol.

EDIT: Nope....nothing works....I removed it, did the command again, rebooted, didn't work...I added it back, ran the command, rebooted, still nothing....>_<....

It attempted to load the GDM, and failed, pulled up a window saying it failed to load correctly, and was disabled until it's setup correctly, and pops me to a terminal....>_<...

All three of the ones you listed, and i went back and checked, all the ones that end with .11 were supported by Ubuntu, the .12 ones weren't, etc etc.....dunno what to do with this...

Alright, I'll do a reinstall and grab those kernels first thing, then let you know.....but the thing is, if you have to boot the .11 kernel to make it work, how do you upgrade your kernel and keep it working?....

Yea, that'd be a big help :-)

The installation went great... BUT one small prob, updates and keys, there are no keys to some of the repos, wine, launchpad intrepid and jaunty, google gadgets and medibuntu. And i don know how to fix this problem.

I know there probleby is other users that have the same issue..

Otherwise i couldn be moore happy now and of course i am torrenting with Transmission.. <BREW>

Alright, that did it....my problem was I didn't get the kernel with "Backports" in it, i got the other normal one....so, now it works if i boot up under the .11 kernel....but now my question is.....how do i upgrade the kernel and keep wireless? if it doesnt work under the .12 kernel?...

Finally! I don't know what has changed form 2.0 to 2.1, but 2.1 has given me a hard time...I chose the x86,since so many others are using 64bit, just to see where it takes me...ISO was downloaded to a new machine,and burned at 2X,DVD used in other test machine, about 35-40% thru install got error bad dvd or failing hard drive, (on test machine)verified md5sum, re-burned at 1X, same results, re-burned at .5X same results...so to double check that hard drive was not failing... re-installed 2.0 on that machine...went without a hitch...2.0 up and running perfectly! Now in this same machine, I have another hard drive, un-attached, so I disconnected the drive I just installed 2.0 on, connected the other drive, and went with the installation of 2.1...2.1 installed very fast and flawlessly on this drive...so , something is different from 2.0 to 2.1, in that 2.0 will install on this drive, but 2.1 won't ????

Same here, just for testing purposes...I'll just leave it, and replace it with a ssd soon, for now, 2.0 goes on the endangered species list. with all the other great predecessors
