You are being very vague.. first off what chipset and model have you got? if you don't know paste your lspci along with lspci -n output here.

Second, are you doing this in virtualised environment?

Run the following:

ifconfig ath0 up
dhclient

Network does not start by default, this is all over the plance on this forum! Do a frickin search!

To start please forgive my incompatance with some things I am Very new to linux but learning

Now with that out the way let me start with saying I having a Atheros AR242x 802.11abg wireless card PCI express adapter (rev 01)

I can see that BT4 has found the card but when I try to connect to my router it never connects I have tried everything I know. BT3 worked just fine. Any help would be great. would hate to go to ubuntu now with BT4 just getting good. Thanks again for the help and to the team that put BT together

What does that mean? The distro is just getting good or you are just getting good with the distro?
Either way , if you can't connect with your card then there is not much "good" yet.
Did you try this

/etc/init.d/networking start
