Hey folks,
Has anyone had any luck with the ath5k driver on Debian? I've installed
linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 (on a lenny system) and ath5k comes stock with
it.
My /etc/network/interfaces file says:
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
wireless_essid <ESSID>
wireless_key <KEY>
address <ADDRESS>
netmask <MASK>
gateway <GW>
And I've got this:
$ lspci -nn |grep Ath
02:02.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5211
802.11ab NIC [168c:0012] (rev 01)
After I say "ifup ath0", iwconfig reveals that ath0 is associated to my
AP and ifconfig looks right (as it should with a static config). dmesg
looks great too:
ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: registered as 'phy0'
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5211 chip found (MAC: 0x42, PHY: 0x30)
ath5k phy0: RF5111 5GHz radio found (0x17)
ath5k phy0: RF2111 2GHz radio found (0x23)
udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to ath0
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): ath0: link is not ready
ath0: Initial auth_alg=0
ath0: authenticate with AP 02:1e:58:07:5d:f2
ath0: RX authentication from 02:1e:58:07:5d:f2 (alg=0 transaction=2
status=0)
ath0: authenticated
ath0: associate with AP 02:1e:58:07:5d:f2
ath0: RX AssocResp from 02:1e:58:07:5d:f2 (capab=0x11 status=0 aid=2)
ath0: associated
ath0: switched to short barker preamble (BSSID=02:1e:58:07:5d:f2)
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): ath0: link becomes ready
ath0: CTS protection enabled (BSSID=02:1e:58:07:5d:f2)
ath0: switched to long barker preamble (BSSID=02:1e:58:07:5d:f2)
ath0: no IPv6 routers present
However, I can't ping my access point.
Do I need some extra magic in /etc/network/interfaces? Any other hints
or advice appreciated!
