Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I have a DWL-G650 card (Atheros 5212) and have encountered the same
problem. I have not been able to find any solution to this problem and
hence am submitting it here.
My setup is as follows:
Compaq 1530D Laptop with Pentium MMX 133MHz having two PCMCIA slots
controlled by TI PCI1131. Running current release DamnSmallLinux 2.3 with
a 2.4.26 Linux Kernel.
The Madwifi drivers supplied with DSL would not work so I downloaded the
Madwifi-ng drivers for DSL. After installation, everything worked fine
until I found that on issuing the command "ifconfig ath0 up" and then
trying to scan for APs, nothing would come up. The link light on the card
would not flash and the message in dmesg output would be:
wifi0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x10c00000, irq=11
wifi0:unable to reset hardware: '' (HAL status 4294967295) (freq 2412
flags 0xa0)
Everytime I would bring ath0 down and then up again, I would get the same
message.
I first thought this might be a problem with the Cardbus manager as I was
not getting a beep on card insertion and the ACT light on the card would
flash twice and freeze. I did a step-by-step load of cardmgr and after
loading yenta_socket and checking dmesg, I though I might be getting an
interrupt conflict on startup:
IRQ routing conflict for 00:11.1, have irq 11 want irq 15,
but yenta_socket appeared to resolve this for the two controllers:
Yenta ISA IRQ mask 0x6f8, PCI irq15
Socket status: 30000006
Yenta ISA IRQ mask 0x6f8, PCI irq11
Socket status: 30000006
I found that a cardctl reset command would get the ACT light flashing
again. ifconfig and iwcnofig output also showed ath0 correctly. I have
been unable to progress further.
