[ Please CC me on any replies in this thread, since I'm not subscribed to the list. Thanks. ] Hi everyone. I'm trying to get my wireless card working in 2.6.10-rc2 (which I need because of other driver issues). I got the latest CVS, applied the patch given on madwifi-devel[1] and compiled. According to FAQ entry 3.10, I ignored all of the warnings about undefined symbols in ath_pci.ko. There weren't any errors. When I try to load the modules, I get jet:~/madwifi # modprobe wlan jet:~/madwifi # modprobe ath_hal jet:~/madwifi # modprobe ath_pci FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.10-rc2/net/ath_pci.ko): No such device In the system log I get: ath_pci: 0.9.4.11 (EXPERIMENTAL) PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:02:02.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:1d.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 0000:00:1f.1 ath0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 1.7 2ghz radio 2.3 ath0: 802.11 address: 00:05:4e:44:fc:17 ath0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BE traffic ath0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BK traffic ath0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic ath0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic ath0: Atheros 5212: mem=0xc0210000, irq=11 ath_pci: No devices found, driver not installed. It used to work fine under 2.6.7. This is an a/b/g card in my Thinkpad. lspci -v gives: 0000:02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Subsystem: Unknown device 17ab:8331 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11 Memory at c0210000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Any ideas? I'm going overseas on Thursday so it'd be nice to have it working before I leave. :-) Thanks, Cameron [1] http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6080643&forum_id=33966 -- Cameron McCormack | Web: http://mcc.id.au/ | ICQ: 26955922 |

While I patched the driver so it would compile, I accidentally never checked to make sure it actually worked! Any other ideas out there? |

Hi Stephen. Stephen Walton: > Honestly, if you want answers, you need to subscribe to the list... Sorry about that, I was having trouble subscribing for some reason (some problem with my mail server talking to sourceforge's mail servers.) > I have to ashamedly admit that I'm seeing the same thing on 2.6.10-rc3. > While I patched the driver so it would compile, I accidentally never > checked to make sure it actually worked! Any other ideas out there? I managed to get some help on the irc channel. Applying some patch fixed the problem. Unfortunately I can't find the patch right now, since I'm in Singapore aiport waiting for my next flight. otaku42 was the one who pointed me to the patch, perhaps he can do the same for you.

One of the several patches floating around to fix compilation breakage on 2.6.10-rcX, or some other? Bye, Mike |

Whatever one comes with FC3. The DHCP server is a Netgear access point. |

I don't run that distro, so I can't look it up. Purpose of this is to find out if the problems regarding DHCP depend on the used client. Thanks in advance. Bye, Mike |

The man page for the dhclient command states, " dhclient(8) has been written for Internet Systems Consortium by Ted Lemon in cooperation with Vixie Enterprises.
