The "HAL status 3" error rings a bell from the past. Please verify that * you have ath5k blacklisted (and initrds updated) * you use the madwifi-source package from sid and build the kernel module package from it with m-a Instructions for blacklisting, rebuilding initrd and building madwifi-modules with module-assistants can be found in the wiki. Please report if you still have the problem after the above steps. If you do, I hope someone with similar hardware can help you. > + echo 1 > + detect_wlan > + lspci > + grep -i network controller > + grep -q RaLink > + lspci > + grep -i atheros > + grep -q -i wireless > + WLAN_IF=ath0 > + WLAN_MOD=ath_pci > + echo Detected WLAN module ath_pci on ath0 > Detected WLAN module ath_pci on ath0 > + [ ath_pci = ath_pci ] > + modprobe ath_pci > + sleep 1 > + ifconfig ath0 up > ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device > If I reboot and enable wlan from bios, ath0 exists and works fine. Hmm. Perhaps another sleep is needed *before* the modprobe in the Atheros case? (that's in /etc/acpi/actions/wireless.sh) -- dam JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
