Hey folks, Has anyone had any luck with the ath5k driver? I've installed linux-image-2.6.25-2-686. My /etc/network/interfaces file says:
auto ath0 iface ath0 inet static wireless_essid <ESSID> wireless_key <KEY> address <ADDRESS> netmask <MASK> gateway <GW> When I say "ifup ath0", iwconfig reveals that ath0 is associated to my AP, 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? -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
