Toshiba A215-S5818

Does anybody have an Arch running on one of these? I've got almost everything running, except for the wireless connection.

You'll need to use ndiswrapper to get your wireless working; none of the linux atheros drivers will support your laptop's card atm.

EDIT: And here's where you can get Windows drivers for your laptop's wireless chipset.

Ok kclive

I'm using ndiswrapper. But I'm still stuck here:

wlan0      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:off/any

I'm using a windows xp driver with the 168c:001c correspondence, obtained through lspci. The inf is a net5211.inf.
I got an wlan0 but I cannot change the SSID , no matter what I try.
