Problems with Atheros AR9285 wireless

[orc_dragoon]

For some reason lately my wireless/eth0 has been messing up. When Im on windows I can use eth0 and wireless. When Im on F11 it detects the eth0, but I cant connect to it. I can still use wireless on Fedora, but for some reason when Im using the wireless the signal is very weak, but in windows the wireless has the best connection possible. ( Ive tested it all through my house and the problem is still the same )

Has anyone else had this problem and can help me solve it?

Hello orc_dragoon

We'll need to know the type of network card in the netbook before we can even begin to guess.

lspci

from the command prompt should tell us that.

The make of the netbook might not go amiss either.

I' sorry, I have no experience with that particular range of chipsets.

I don't know if you can do it as the originator of the thread, or if you have to send a personal message to a moderator to do it, but I suggest you get the thread title changed to something like:

Problems with Atheros AR9285 wireless

That way you will attract the right sort of attention.

I updated the thread title.
