    Just installed 5.3 and finally got X up and running
    with KDE (what an ordeal compared to earlier versions
    with XFree 4.4). I've RTFM and manpages and assorted
    other info and was able to figure that I needed to
    compile "ath" into the kernel which is supposed to be
    the driver for the wireless card (note subject line)
    on my laptop.

    But thats where I run out of road. I really don't have
    a clue. Can connect with the built-in ethernet port
    but really would like to go wireless.

    Can someone point me to the right documentation to get
    this card up and running.

    I would really appreaciate any help and BTW I don't
    own an asbestos suit ;)

    Keith
