It more looks like that the driver doesn't recognise your card properly (although it's strange that the driver is loading fine in that case) or it has a different name then "ath0". You also seem to have two other network cards (eth0, eth1), you could try to remove one of them for testing purpose. > part of my dmesg looks like this- wlan: 0.8.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL) > wlan: mac acl policy registered > ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413) > ath_rate_sample: 1.2 > ath_pci: 0.9.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL) > Are both the eth0, eth1 cards recognised?
