[Madwifi-users] WHY doesn't work, it should work!

[<sm...@li...>]

ath_hal: 0.9.14.9
wlan: 0.8.6.0
ath_rate_sample:1.2
ath0: Atheros Ar5212 802.11a/b/g


I have a 3Com pccard:  3CRWE154A72 (chipset Atheros AR5212).

I would use this pccard in a private wlan with MAC filtering and WEP 128 
bit for the encryption. Of course I use  a linuxbox !(slackware 10.1 
with kernel 2.6.10)

I downloaded  the last version of  Madwifi driver (date 30/08/2005) 
installed it and  configured my pccard with 2 script  
rc.wireless-atheros and rc.inet1-atheros.

By Gkrellm I saw that my pccard transmits and receives some packet but 
there are 2 strange things:
* the leds of this pccard don't  work, (by lspci I saw the ethernet 
extension)
* the pccard doesn't connect to the wlan.

Why this pccard doesn't work with your driver it should work?

thank you
