[Voyage-linux] best wifi pen

[Stanislav Sinyagin]

alright, I connected it to my ALIX board.

With mint Voyage, it was missing the firmware:
[  205.099228] usb 1-1: ath9k_htc: Firmware - htc_7010.fw not found
[  205.102053] ath9k_htc: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22
[  205.103621] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_htc


remountrw

cat >>/etc/apt/sources.list <EOT
deb http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports main contrib non-free
EOT

apt-get update
aptitude -t squeeze-backports install firmware-atheros


Now it works:
