[Tfug] "No modules loaded"

[erich]

There is something in the kernel that matters.
        First of all, I don't use WIFI. However I did a search when I 
brought up
make menuconfig for my kernel and got:

Symbol: ATH5K [=n]                                                      |

I'm using a 2.6.25 kernel, but you should get something very similar for 
yours. (Mine is generic)
In your case, there is the possibility that the necessary module hasn't 
been compiled in.
