Re: [Madwifi-devel] Madwifi setup with TPLINK TL-WN951N (AR992X Chipset) in ubuntu 12.04 desktop?

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).

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?
