I have a ASUS F5SL notebook and my WLAN works only with this snapshot: http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r3366 + ar5007.tar.gz And this download no longer works. Fortunately, I got this snapshot from someone per mail. But unfortunately it does not work with 2.6.26, so I patched this snapshot painful for 2.6.26. Then works the WLAN fine. But unfortunately I deleted the patched version. Therefore, I wanted to ask whether it is once again a new snapshot, which supports my Wi-Fi chip + 2.6.26. A current trunk-checkout doesn't work with my WLAN chip. My dmesg: ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. ath_hal: 0.10.2.2-ATHEROS (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413, RF2133, RF2425) wlan: trunk ath_pci: trunk ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64 MadWifi: ath_attach: Switching rfkill capability off ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (trunk) MadWifi: ath_attach: Switching per-packet transmit power control off wifi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wifi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps wifi0: H/W encryption support: WEP AES AES_CCM TKIP wifi0: ath_announce: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic wifi0: ath_announce: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic wifi0: ath_announce: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic wifi0: ath_announce: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic wifi0: ath_announce: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic wifi0: ath_announce: Use hw queue 9 for beacons ath_pci: wifi0: Atheros 5424/2424: mem=0xfdff0000, irq=16 Best regards, thacrazze |

Hi. Cross-posting is unnecessary, removed CC to madwifi-users. thacrazze wrote: > I have a ASUS F5SL notebook and my WLAN works only with this snapshot: > http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r3366 + ar5007.tar.gz > And this download no longer works. This download (without the spaces around the "+") works fine, but the code that once was contained in there has become outdated and obsolete. If you had looked at the content of the file you would have noticed the README file (it's the only file in the tarball), thus now knew about the madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6 branch and the related snapshot(s). Check ticket 1192 to learn more about this stuff: http://madwifi.org/ticket/1192 Bye, Mike |
