Hello,
I am not able to have it working with Suse (while it works with windows
XP).
The wifi device is an Atheros AR 5005G.
From the compatibility page, I found that:
{{{
Atheros AR 5005G
Chipset: AR5005G = (AR2413)
Chip: AR2413 (802.11b+g)
URL: http://www.atheros.com/pt/AR5005G.htm
Supports: IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
Working: _no_ working_ with revision 1457, dmesg report: 'Hardware
revision not supported' (kernel 2.6.15)
Notes: chipset is AR1423, as you can see through URL
}}}
Therefore, not working for the moment.
Is there any plan to have Madwifi working with this chipset ? Do you have
a timeline for this ?
Thanks in advance
Comment (by mrenzmann):
The AR2413 is supported and should work with a recent version.
Did you follow the various installation instructions that can be found in
our wiki? Which SuSE version are you using? What steps did you take so
far, and what errors do you get? Please be a bit more verbose.
