[Madwifi-devel] MadWifi on Cisco Cardbus 802.11 a/b/g

[Sreekrishnan V. <s_k...@in...>]

Hi, 

I am trying to get madwifi working on a Cisco Cardbus 802.11 a/b/g
(AIR-CB21AG-A-K9) card with an AR5212 NIC. I see the ath0 interface up, 
but it's not able to sense the access point. (the Rx Invalid Nwid keeps 
getting bumped up). 

Output of 'lspci': 

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg 

       NIC (rev 01)
       Subsystem: AIRONET Wireless Communications: Unknown device cb21
       Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 11
       Memory at d2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
       Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 


Output from 'dmesg' during (the 'ng') driver load: 

ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, 
RF5413)
ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (svn 1546)
ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn 1546)
wifi0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 radio 3.6 

Output from 'iwconfig ath0': 

ath0      IEEE 802.11b  ESSID:"goesh" 
         Mode:Managed  Channel:0  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 
         Bit Rate:0kb/s   Tx-Power:20 dBm   Sensitivity=0/3 
         Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
         Encryption key:off
         Power Management:off
         Link Quality=0/94  Signal level=-95 dBm  Noise level=-95 dBm
         Rx invalid nwid:2036  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
         Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0 

The ifconfig output shows an entry from wifi0. 

If I do an "modprobe ath_pci autocreate=none", I don't see the ath0
interface at all. 

Also, where can I get hold of the Ath PCI interface spec? 

Thanks and Warm Regards,
