Hi all
I just bought a miniPCI IBM/AMBiT wifi card, with a Atheros AR5212
chipset.
I can't have it working on my laptop (DELL Inspiron 8500) either under
linux nor windows (error code 10, event 5001 with ar5211.sys Atheros
driver for windows XP Pro SP2).
I am running a Fedora core 4 with kernel 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4
I have compiled and installed tha atheros drivers through the SVN
repository :
{{{
> svn checkout svn.madwifi.org/trunk madwifi-ng
> cd madwifi-ng
> make
> make install
}}}
Everything went all right, and the modules are installed.
The problem occurs when the module ath_pci is probed :
{{{
> modprobe ath_pci
}}}
nothing happens and I have this error in dmesg :
{{{
ath_hal: 0.9.17.2 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn r1634)
ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (svn r1634)
ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn r1634)
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:03.0[A] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 7 (level, low)
-> IRQ 7
wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware self-test failed' (HAL status
14)
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:03.0 disabled
}}}
lspci says :
{{{
02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 02.11abg
NIC (rev 01)
}}}
I already have read a lot of topics on other web sites but none gave a
real solution. I hope that someone will have the kindness to answer here
to explain their solution. I have no other laptop to test the card
elsewhere.
Thx,
Avoghaii, Rennes, France.
(I can tranlate for french eyes, just ask)
