Subject: help with wireless on sony vaio fw, atheros ar928x chipset

I have been trying to put my wireless to work, on a sony vaio fw, ubuntu hardy heron, wireless atheros ar928x chipset

I think my problem begins with this

First I tried with madwifi, my chipset driver is not listed yet, even tough I tried

It returned "wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device", I think this is because of the Unknown device that I recieve with the lspci command. It's weird, because with the device manager, I can see the network controller, but there is not any "networking interface", but the wired controller has an interface.

Then I tried with ndiswrapper, using the GUI and the command line, both of then showed me that it was ok, I use the drivers that I download from http://www.atheros.cz/, after that I thought that maybe I was using the wrong drivers, so I took them from the DRIVERS folder on my windows vista, but I had the same result. I used the xp and vista drivers, and this is the response that I had

XP drivers install

...after restart

Vista Drivers
After installing, I got this


Some information




thanks in advance...
