Thanks for that. Yes, I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on the netbook I want
to use. The modprobe command connects to the dongle straight away. I
just hadn't found the right module. I'll build that in to /etc/modules
for future. The chipset is Atheros AR9170. Hadn't really worked that
out until you pointed me to linuxwireless.org. This is the first time
I've had to mess with a wi-fi dongle.
Regards, Barry.
