Alright, after geeking away at my HP laptop, trying to get the Atheros wireless card to work, and ending up just borking the install of 1.8 x64, I decided to give up on it, and just wait until my wireless is supported in a future kernel release....but I still want wireless....so, I was thinking about USB wireless cards, and then I remember I have my 54MB wireless card for my old laptop, I think these cards are called PCI cards for laptops? Anyhow, I figured, great! I'll just use that instead, since it's a couple years old, I know Linux has drivers for it (I'll cry if it doesn't), so I popped it in....and.....nothing.....I don't know how to make the expansion slot work on my laptop.....I run Ubuntu on my older laptop, with this exact same wireless card, and it works great, but my new laptop, for some reason, the card won't even light up/power up when I plug it in....can anyone tell me why this is? and how to fix it? I would very much like to have wireless
