    Hi...

    I've just bought a Clevo with a killer 1102 wireless card.

    As i'm under Debian 6 i don't know how to activate and install this wireless card.

    Do i need drivers and if so where do i download them?

    Is Debian compatible with this wireless card???

    Thanks

    Bigfoot cards are made by Atheros & the driver = ath9k (for both the 1102 & 1103 cards)

    Debian should detect it automatically - if it doesn't:
    Code: 
    sudo modprobe ath9k
    & if this command completes with no errors or output you should be able to see it loaded with:
    Code: 
    lsmod | grep ath9k
    & if the module does not get loaded after a reboot add "ath9k" (no quotes) to /etc/modules
