   Hi Community...

   want to run SliTaz on a Samsung Notebook. The wifi card is a ATHEROS AR9485. Slitaz do not support it. Is there a way to make it useable? Is anywhere a SliTaz firmware package for this wifi card???

   hi HMA,
   I search in web, i found links http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k
   It's seem AR9485 supported by kernel >= 2.6.39.
   But last kernel include in Stable is 2.6.37, in cooking is 3.2.14.
   You can try with slitaz cooking live version.

   If you want, I can compile 2.6.39 version for you including support for your wireless card (driver ath9k).

   HMA - you are good in compiling - compat wireless on 4.0 should do it

   @vergote
   5.0-rc2 has ath9k that should work with ar9565
   lsmod
   If ath9k is loaded.
   ls /sys/class/net
   If not loaded.
   modprobe ath9k
ls /sys/class/net
   Applications/Preferences/Wi-Fi configuration
