Hello, Yesterday I bought a new Toshiba Satellite u500 laptop. It comes with an Atheros AR9285 wireless chipset. I want to ask if there is any madwifi release compatible with this kind of chipset. Or if there isn't, what would you suggest I do? Thank you! |

No, but there is a patch for AR9285 support posted at http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/2391 I don't know if anyone has tested or reviewed it yet. If the patch works for you, please report. > Or if there isn't, what would you suggest I do? As others said, ath9k should be a much better option. You can use compat-wireless to get the latest wireless drivers with your existing kernel. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |
