I don't have , just

bash-3.00# modinfo atl1c

So i would do a

[rcrsn51]

First of all, run the command "lspci -nn" and determine the [vendor:product] ID codes for this device. Is it [1969:1083]?

I don't have a copy of Slacko 531. But I checked in 533 and it appears to support this device using the atl1c module.

Here are the info (Slacko 5.3.2.9)
=== NETWORK ===

Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030
KERNEL MODULE: iwlagn
KERNEL MODULE: iwlagn
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Device
KERNEL MODULE: atl1c
KERNEL MODULE: atl1c

All distros have the cable connection, Slacko 5.3.3 and its puplets, Lucids 5xxx and their puplets, Dpup exprimo, even the older ones. I think there is a module to load.
I was using and enjoying Slacko 5.3.2.9 since yesterday, safest than 5.3.3.

I dont understand 5.3.1 was also working well until now. It is incredible. Perhaps due to the USB trade mark ? but I was running Slacko 5.3 previously on this material. I Dont know.
