I have a card with exactly the same PCI ID, MAC, PHY and radio. I can confirm that it's working with Linux 2.6.25.9 (that's actually kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9 from Fedora 9). It can scan and associate to an AP using WPA2. dhclient runs successfully on the interface and I can send data through it. If you have any specific problem, I suggest that you post enough information, such as the kernel version, the output of iwconfig, the scan results and what exactly you are doing. > On the other hand it could be a configuration problem. > There is enough (madwifi) documentation, examples and tools > out there to burst a hard drive.

I believe the place for such documentation is http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k If you have any reason to believe that some information is missing, please mention it too. What exactly do you need to configure? -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ ath5k-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-users
