I have a card which uses an atheros chipset. I've been using a driver which I downloaded ages ago and has worked flawlessly for a while.
I recently did a pacman -Syu which included a kernel upgrade and an ndiswrapper update. My kernel is currently 2.6.18.1-1 and my ndiswrapper is 1.26-1
Since the upgrade my networking has failed - the card no longer seems to work at all. This isn't all that surprising since ndiswrapper -l lists the driver as follows:
ndiswrapper invalid driver!
net5211 driver installed
I'm at a loss to understand how to move forward when I know I have a perfectly valid .inf file - but I'm getting nothing out of the card at all...
Any ideas?

mine says
net5211 driver installed, hardware (168C:001C) present
and it still doesn't work......

Is this a case of find a new driver? Or is there another way forward...?

I fixed in the following way:
1) Downgraded ndiswrapper. This got rid of the invalid driver message, but when doing "lspci" I saw no mention of the card...
2) So I moved it to a different pci slot
All fixed now (currently doing a MASSIVE update - which I'm nervous will break everything...), but I'm wondering whether I can upgrade ndiswrapepr again... Is it possible that the pci failure came as a result of the upgrade?
