Atheros wi-fi question

I have onboard wi-fi on my ASUS mini-ITX. It says it is Atheros. But Mageia 6 will not
auto-detect it. In Network Center I get an error message.

According to the Wiki page, there is a driver called madwifi. I have no idea if that is
installed or why it would not be installed or if that is even part of the problem.

This is sort of frustrating. But I want to learn how to do it the right way.

Which desktop environment do you use currently? And please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all
lspcidrake -v|grep -iE "wlan|wifi|wireless|net"
ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep -iE "net|wpa"


and, as root:
Code: Select all
ifconfig -a
rfkill list all
systemctl status network.service -a
journalctl -ab | grep -iE "fw|firmware|iwl|wifi|wire|80211"
