[Madwifi-users] Well my complete data

[Luis O. J. M. <lui...@pr...>]

Well I have installed Debian "Sarge" with Kernel 2.6.8 and the output of =
lspci is:

0000:00:09.0 Ethernet Controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 =
802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
                   Subsystem: AMBIT Microsystem Corp.: Unknown device =

                   Control I/O- Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- =
VGASnoop- ParErr- Step ping- SERR- FastB2B-
                   Status: CAP+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- =

non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=3D64k]
                   Capabilities: [44] Power Managment version 2
                            Flags: PMEC=F1k- DSI- D1- D2- =

                            Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=3D0 DScale=3D2 =
PME-

NOTE: Appears like 5212 but if check the lspci with Mandrake appears =
like 5213

The output of dmesg (when madwifi is installed):

ath_hal: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
ath_hal: 0.9.12.14 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212)
wlan: 0.8.4.4 (EXPERIMENTAL)
ath_rate_onoe: 1.0
ath_pci: 0.9.4.11 (EXPERIMENTAL)

ath%d: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13

I can use the wireless with ndiswrapper, I take the drivers directly of =
my WinXP but if someone need it I can send them

I am a Linux newbie so if anyone can help me

thanks
