Greetings- as a new eComStation 2.1 user, I've decided to post a question here to see if anyone can help.  I'm having an issue with my wireless card an Atheros 168c:001c. I can verify the driver seems to be loaded by:

[C:\]TYPE WRND32$

However, it doesn't seem to be enabled or fully recognized.  Checking the log I find a particular file is not found during loading:

I'm unable to get further than this.

I read a forum post where someone said to delete the MPTS setting and put it back, but this did not seem to help.  The Realtek ethernet card works.  What's puzzling to me is the eCS installer recognizes the wireless card, naming it Atheros AR5007EG/AR42X, and suggests a driver.  Thinking the driver was the issue, I went and downloaded the unsupported Genmac package from March of this year that also lists the 168c:001c.  Those instructions referred to downloading a program from an archive and editing a similar file, but they lost me.  Does anyone with more experience with this operating system have ideas?

Thank you.
