I just got this card, and the madwif drivers load properly, but I can't connect to the AP (Encryption is disabled). When I type "iwlist ap" it says that no access points were found even though its sitting 1m from the AP. The card works fine under windows. When I type dmesg, I notice that its sharing the IRQ with the USB system, would that cause the problem? My system is a stock install of Slackware 10.1 kernel 2.4.29 madwifi from CVS head as of last friday Heres some info >cardctl ident Socket 0: no product info available Socket 1: product info: "Atheros Communications, Inc.", "AR5001-0000-0000", "Wireless LAN Reference Card", "00" manfid: 0x0271, 0x0012 function: 6 (network) >iwconfig ath0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412GHz Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Bit Rate:0kb/s Tx-Power:50 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:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 >lspci [stuff removed] 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.

Madwifi doesnt sends any packets before the interface is up. (This is also in the README of madwifi). iwlist ath0 scan is the correct syntax for scanning accesspoints.

This didn't work. Ifconfig was successful, but iwlst ath0 scan reported "no scan results". Has anyone had any experience with this card?

Hi. John Kaniarz wrote: > This didn't work. Ifconfig was successful, but iwlst ath0 scan > reported "no scan results". Upgrading your wireless tools package to 28-pre3 or later should help. There has been a fix for an issue related to scanning with madwifi. Bye, Mike |
