Hi developers: *[Problem]* When I study openCapwap, it requires a PC have a wireless card with Atheros chipset and MadWifi driver installed. And I followed MadWifi 'First Time User' HOWTO until last step Loading the MadWifi Module: modprobe ath_pci After running this command ifconfig doesn't show the additional wireless interface even after I reboot Ubuntu. *[Guess]* After I googled and went through MadWifi userdocs, I think maybe MadWifi do not support AR992X chipsets? And If so, is any workaround? *-Environment-* * * *[madwifi-0.9.4-current.tar.gz]* * * *[Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Desktop]* Linux test-HP-Z220-SFF-Workstation 3.2.0-34-generic-pae #53-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 15 11:11:12 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux *[lspci | grep Network]* 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 04) 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

Yes, Madwifi doesn't support this chipset. Ti solve this problem you can manually port support from compat-wireless or BSD ieee80211 stack (i mean hal- modules). Or hire someone to do it for you :) For now it is better to use compat-wireless ath9k modules in such device it has the same possibilities and even more (look at openwrt).
