I have been beating my head against the wall for 3 days now, and although I can compile and install the latest madwifi stuff on my fedora core 4 box (2.6.14-1.1656) and the kernel modules are installed correctly, I cannot get a "wlan0" or "wifi0" or "ath0" device initially created.
If I run "cardctl status" I get back:
Socket 0:
3.3V CardBus card
function 0: [ready]
An lspci -v gets me:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
Subsystem: PROXIM Inc: Unknown device 0a40
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 10
Memory at 34000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
An lsmod (grepping for wlan and ath) gets me:
wlan 178908 2 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
ath_pci 91940 0
ath_rate_sample 12800 1 ath_pci
wlan 178908 2 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
ath_hal 198864 2 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
It appears that the madwifi stuff is mis-detecting the card, as I think the 8470 WD is just a B/G card and not A/B/G as it says...
Anyone have any ideas? I am really stumped!
