Hi everyone! :-)
Yesterday I managed to find a driver for my USB wireless dongle, and it is now correctly recognized by the kernel. However, I don't know how to configure it.
How did you install the driver that you found?
What is the output of "/sbin/ifconfig -a" does it list the wifi device i.e. wlan0 ?
Do "ethtool --driver <iface> " to find the driver associated with your wifi network interface.
In my case I get the following output:
# ethtool --driver wlan0 driver: ath9k version: 3.2.0-1-amd64 firmware-version: N/A bus-info: 0000:02:00.0 supports-statistics: no supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: no
Usuall the NetworkManager detects all the active network interfaces and presents the devices. In your case, I suspect the wifi device is not being initialized.
