My adapter is powered by the atheros 9k drivers and it works fine with the previous kernel 2.6.39, but after my last update i got the new kernel and now only my wired connection is detected. I'm an noob and since i am using grub customizer i can still select the old kernel for my wireless to work. I also run Opensuse 11. 4 Kde and Gnome 3.0 and the same problem occur after the kernel was updated.
Any help to get my wireless working would be appreciate. Since i'm a noob any instruction would have to be in steps, i'm now learning the command line.
Thanks,
Bajan

thanks to Mike and Jay in the Linux forum for getting me this far.
Now can anyone help me with the steps on getting and installing the Firmware, along with anything else to get my wireless to work.
Thanks,
