Estoy tratando de hacer funcionar una placa PCI Netgear WPN511con chipset atheros AR5212/AR5213 en debian sid con kernel 3.2.0-1-686-pae
#lspci -nn
07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0013] (rev 01)
#lsmod | grep ath
ath5k 115240 0
ath 17114 1 ath5k
mac80211 171390 1 ath5k
cfg80211 117454 5 ath5k,ath,mac80211,ipw2200,libipw
La placa es reconocida normalmente,el modulo ath5k se carga en automatico, el
asunto es que no se asocia a ningun AP,escanea las redes dando la siguiente
salida :
#iwlist wlan0 scan

el tema son esos IE:Unknown
lo anterior es solo por citar un ejemplo,pero pasa tambien al tratar de
asociarse al cualquier AP ya sea con/sin encriptacion.
Otra cosa que encontrado es :
#dmesg |grep ath
