Atheros

I have somehow disabled my Atheros. I am not a tech person and prior to
getting Qwest I used to go to outside sources for wireless and then it just
stopped working. I called Qwest and they walked me through what I thought
would fix it but to no avail. We could not get it enabled! I have tried
everything that my limited mind knows. Can anyone help?

Hi
It is hard to know what exactly you are talking about.
Atheros is a name of a Wireless chipset.
I would guess that you have a computer with a Wireless arid that its chipset
is made by Atheros.
In such a case may be this can Help, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html

When I go into my network connections and try to enable it nothing happens.
It shows "disabled, firewalled, it will not enable. I went into the
connections and tried to set up the internet protocol (tcp/ip) but it seems
to not be installed and when I went to install it I was not sure what to
install-client, service or protocal?

to turn on wireless or some key combination?
