I've tried ng drivers with SMCWPCIT-G AR5212 card. Everything seems to go
fine:
* Compiles well
* Modules are loaded ok.
* ath0 and wifi0 are created ok.
But the card never associates with any access point. It is always "Not-
Associated". iwlist ath0 scan does not report anything (same with
wlanconfig) and there is a lot of networks there out. I think the radio is
never turned on. Leds does never light. I've tried last stable and cvs
versions of ng drivers.
The system has a 2.6.14 kernel with SMP enabled.
I've tried too with old drivers and it seems to work pretty well most of
times. Sometimes it hangs the computer and when the system it's turned off
there are some SMP stack errors on console (thrown only when a power off
or restart is asked). But it detects all access points and works with wep
enabled. Radio LED lights (although it does not shine as much as in
windows ???)
Comment:
We need more details on the configuration of your card. Is the
configuration correct (SSID of the AP you want to associate with set), for
example? Are you sure that you could associate with one of the visible APs
at all, or might they all be secured? Can you give us more details about
the AP you're trying to connect to?
