Toshiba satellite pro a200

I was wondering if anyone knows if iPC is the right distro for my Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 laptop? I already tried iDeneb and iAtkos. Both didnt support my integrated Wifi card from Atheros.

wifi on your Toshiba

Have the same problem. Only way to fix is to use a Netgear WG111v2 USB adapter.
Works beautiful now. The wifi works fine with the internal wifi card when you are on the PC side (I am using XP).
I still use the Netgear though since I always have it plug in. BTW, I have the dongle plug in to a short USB cord so your other USB port is free.

good luck!

It depends on what Atheros wifi card it is. Some work natively in osx as it supports atheros chipset but some just don't. I had a laptop with atheros card (can't remember the exact model number, 5005g or something, maybe) which worked with older drivers, from Tiger. It worked just with specific IO80211Family version. So try to find your exact atheros model number, maybe you can make it work.

Toshiba A200-1TP

I have a A200-1TP with ATI Radeon Mobility 2400 and I can't get it working any way.

Please tell me what distro did you get working!

Thank you,

Try checking the wiki for the OSX86 compatibility list. It has a list of the graphics cards and the drivers used, etc.
