on their outer surface. You need to turn this on to be able make
wireless network card tx/rx radio packages.
- You still couldn't manage to install the card drivers properly.

I think there is a problem here. Would you mind checking this by sending
us "lspci -vnn" and "dmesg" messages produced by Ubuntu GNU/Linux Live?
(Please do not wrap lines in the outputs while sending the message.)
168c:001c appears[1] to be supported by ath5k, but I wonder what trick
we are missing that Ubuntu successfully does.
