ACER 4520 QUW SUSAH DETECT WIFI .. =’(

Filed under: INFORMATIKA — taataa @ 8:45 am

Aq memakai dua sistem operasi di my leppy, Acer Aspire 4520. Microsoft Windows Professional (version 2002) dan Linux Hardy. Hardisk yang berkapasitas 120 giga aq sisihkan 10 giga untuk sistem operasi Linux. Ada sedikit permasalahan ketika pertama kali aq menginstall Linux. Wirelessnya tidak bisa  jalan !?!!! >o< hwaaaaa… Langsung googling sana sini, tanya sesepuh, bertapa, mandi kembang tujuh rupa dan akhirnya aq mendapatkan ilham…  Sebagai ubuntuers baru yang tak kenal menyerah, ini hasil temuan quw,, heheheheee ….

Laptop (ACER ASPIRE 4520) yang harganya murah meriah dan laris manis di kalangan mahasiswa ini memiliki spek sebagai berikut :

spek AMD turion64 X2
VGA Nvidia 7000M
HD Hitachi 120 GB
Wireless Atheros AR5007EG (ada yang broadcom)
Web Cam
DDR2 1 Gb (upgrade sendiri)

Berbekal spek di atas, aquw langsung merantau di google.com dan akhirnya menemukan cara ini :

*Untuk User AMD 64 bit*  à (ex : aq)

<http://www.ubuntugeek.com/atheros-ar5007-wireless-with-madwifi-on-ubu…>version
following this procedure

Blacklist the default driver

echo “blacklist ath_pci” | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Download the 64 bit driver

wget http://blakecmartin.googlepages.com/ar5007eg-64-0.2.tar.gz

Extract driver using the following command

tar xvf ar5007eg-*.tar.gz

tar xvf ndiswrapper-newest.tar.gz

Ensure you have your kernel headers and the build essential package.

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential

Install ndisgtk

sudo apt-get install ndisgtk

Either use ndisgtk to install the driver or

sudo ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf

Load up ndiswrapper every time Linux is loaded

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

echo “ndiswrapper” | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Restart your system using the following command

sudo reboot

Your card should have been detected and it should show available networks. But if it does not, try

sudo iwlist scan

Yokkataneeehhhwifina kedetect,,sik asik .. =D
