[Avila] no wireless devices

[Chris Lang]

Juan,

The drivers are not installed by default. If you are going to be using
an atheros wireless radio, then the correct commands to load are:

# modprobe wlan_scan_sta
# modprobe wlan_scan_ap
# modprobe ath_pci

After the above 3 commands you will be able to setup an access point or
client with an Atheros Based Radio.

Thanks,
