The wireless network was correctly sensed by ubuntu, but the hardware doesn't work.

For compiling driver from source we need the package '''build-essential''', for that simply run on terminal if you havent' already it
{{{
sudo apt-get install build-essential
}}}

First disable restricted driver from ''System->Administration->Hardware driver'' and by clicking on disable on the bottom of the form.
Now we have to download the last '''madwifi''' driver source package. [[http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/|here the link]]
After extracted it run in a terminal:
{{{
cd desktop/madwifi-hal*
make
sudo make install
}}}
Now the driver modules are installed but unloaded.
We can now edit modules configuration for load it automatically at startup
{{{
sudo vim /etc/modules
}}}
On the bottom of the file we have to add this
{{{
ath_pci
}}}
Write changes and exit.
Now we can reboot for unload old driver and load the newest at next start.

We need to recompile audio driver alsa at the last available version since the audio chipset is not fully recognized by ubuntu 8.10. The on-board chipset is a Realtek ID 272.

for compiling driver from source we need the package '''build-essential''', for that simply run on terminal
{{{
sudo apt-get install build-essential
}}}

Now we can download the last Alsa Driver source from [[http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download|here]] (tested on v. 1.0.18a)
Extract it on Desktop and run in a terminal
{{{
cd desktop/cd alsa-driver-*
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes
make
sudo make install
}}}

Now we have to keep volume up from alsamixer with:
{{{
alsamixer
}}}

On next start the speaker will be disabled when you try to plug-in an headphone's jack.
Perhaps internal microphone doesn't work since now.
