Device unknown Luckily, you just showed the vendor:device ID pairing of your card by the above command (168c:0023). You can confirm this by this one-liner: for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1 }'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done Using the pair, I see: $ grep -i 168c /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 0023 /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.8.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v0000168Cd00000023sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ath9k Looks like the ath9k driver in the kernel supports your device.
