Yeah, someone told me about this exact card, I guess he figured it used Atheros so that meant it would work.. I wish I was so lucky. A nice fellow from Germany sent me an e-mail with a link to patching a file in the kernel, but I'm not sure how to do it.. But I guess I'll give it a try Does anyone else have any other advice for me here? Is there anything I can do or did I just purchase an absolute waste of money?
