I found this dirty cheap and since is in the compatibility list I grab it it had also ssd installed so it was a nice buy . It is exactly the model A200-1M5 which has the T2450 cpu , all the rest same as A200 PSAE1E . Only problem was it doesn't boot for installation from USB 3.0 it wants USB 2.0 . Please some help with networking . It has the atheros wifi and from the list I see RTL8101E which I don't know to which realtek device coresponds I tried them all I tried the Atheros5000 device which is it's wireless and also thethering with my iphone . Failed to restart wireless networking I get all the cases I miss something please a little help.I put prefs and devlist

Hi,

I do not use wifi but can I ask the following questions?
I take it, the wifi card is AR5BXB63? Does the slot work? Just have atheros5000.device only in IPv4 settings.

The best way to list the available networks and diagnose / troubleshoot problems with connecting to a wireless network is to run WirelessManager manually. First uncheck the "Start networking during system boot" box in the Network prefs app, then save and reboot. Then run this in a shell:

C:wirelessmanager atheros5000.device verbose > RAM:log.txt

Post it here so hopefully someone might see what is wrong?
