It's 2009, I've acquired a brand new TOSHIBA NB 200 NetBook. The first thing i did : install Ubuntu 04.09. I had hard time to setup the wifi, but finally, i succeded. I have wireless internet now with my netbook! My wireless card is an Atheros 9285. Just followed the procedure described in the page : http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download And it worked like a charm. 1. Dowload 2. Compilation 3. Installation 4. Reboot 5. Connexion via ubuntu GUI Update, it's 2016, now, I have restarted my netbook which now uses Ubuntu 14.04. Problem, the sound does not work. This is how I fixed it using the advice from this forum page : sudo apt-get install alsa-base sudo apt-get install pulseaudio sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf then add at the end of the file: options snd-hda-intel model=auto
