Recently, OrangeWare developed a Mac OS X Wireless Driver for the 3Com wireless line of cards which use the Atheros chip, and licensed the driver to 3Com. As a result, the Atheros based 3Com cards are now compatible with Mac.

I already install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I find out my wireless doesn't work.

Also works on Karmic - see below

If the method described in this section doesn't work for you, try the alternate method using 'madwifi' and 'ath_pci' described below.

Look for the ath5k module, located in the package linux-backports-modules-intrepid. Install the package using either Synaptic or apt-get, and make sure it is activated on System/Administration/Hardware Drivers.

Note: For 9.10 substitute linux-backports-modules-karmic,

Follow the steps below only if ath5k module did not work. This may be the result of a conflict with either ath_hal or ath_pci, or ath5k might be blacklisted somewhere. So:

1) Hit 'alt+f2' to run a command and type:

I guess I see why people hate Vista now. Ite 8211 ide driver for mac. Everything works perfect now. Windows users aren't used to having to do that, which is why there are so many tech support jobs available. This was like solving a problem in a linux distro. Having to find the solution that fits your situation, and then solving it on your own by chance.

And add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

Reboot. If it's still not working than it is very likely you have ath5k being blacklisted somewhere. Blacklisting may have occurred if you are coming from a Hardy upgrade and/or did not uninstall the madwifi driver before doing this. So try the following, but Be Extremely Careful - this next command opens nautilus with root privileges, which can change and/or damage any file on the system.

2) Hit 'alt+f2' to run a command and type:

And navigate to

Now check each and every file for a line that looks like:

And just add a '#' character at the beginning of the line, thus commenting it. You might probably find this case on a file named 'madwifi'.

2.1) Alternatively, to quickly find where ath5k is being blacklisted, you can open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) and type:

Just remember you need to just comment lines that have 'blacklist ath5k'.

This solution is based on this thread on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6089169

If after all the above you see a network but cannot connect

You might want to try changing the WPA Supplicant on your network manager to wext. On wicd it's the first option when you go into Preferences.

If after everything you don't see your network

Remember that you might be trying to connect to an access point that is not broadcasting its name (hidden SSID), which is a separate issue and can be checked by enabling SSID broadcast on the access point.

sudo lshw -C network

3) The wireless LED on my laptop does not work in linux. I may have pressed the wireless button while troubleshooting and turned off wireless without knowing it. So while fiddling around, I may have installed the right driver but not known it.

The following method was described in the Ubuntu Forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072. Sections of this thread are quoted below. If you run into trouble, looking at the details of that thread may be helpful.

Dr. P.J. Kurian posted the following information (edited here):

Hi guys! In this thread you will find the instructions for installing the madwifi drivers for Atheros wireless cards. Please follow the instructions exactly.

Open the terminal by navigating through Applications-->Accessories--> Terminal.

Now type the following commands in the terminal window:

Now uncomment anything in that file that starts with deb by changing it from #deb to deb or something along those lines. To exit and save your changes, hit CTRL+X. Then answer 'YES' to 'Do you want to save?' and hit ENTER.

Now type the following commands:

Restart your machine. Your wireless connection should work now.

optional: I use wicd to connect to the wireless modem. To install wicd type the following commands in a terminal window:

Warning about kernel updates

Kernel updates of your system will kill your driver, so you'll need to recompile it. Type the command sudo -i into a terminal window and just repeat the last three steps. Your madwifi will come back to life.

Additional step for kernel 2.6.32.22 and later

Kernel 2.6.32.22 changed the default for the rfkill parameter of ath_pci from 0 to 1, which had the effect of killing the methods described above. You'll need to make sure that it's set back to 0 on system startup. To do that, edit (or create) the file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf to include the line

Your wireless should work after you reboot.
