have the following problem: atheros ar5007eg  wireless doesn't work on my toshiba satellite a215-s4767. in theory, gutsy detects it as an 5006eg pci card and installs restricted drivers for atheros HAL.i have another partition running windows vista and it works fine. has this problem been already solved?please help!here is the result of an ifconfig:eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr
