Comment (by ilj):
Okay folks here's one more success story (after almost 2 days long fight
and source code patching, compiling and recompiling).
I have got a Samsung R-20 (X-002 model) notebook with the following wifi
device in it:
----
'''% lspci -n'''[[BR]]
05:00.0 0200: 168c:001c (rev 01)[[BR]]
'''% lspci -d 168c:001c ''' [[BR]]
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11
b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
----
I tried current stable madwifi version (0.9.3.3 at the moment of writing
this message, also 0.9.3.2, various svn-snapshots and patch mentioned
here: madwifi.org/ticket/1679 ). No luck. I just failed to get wlan0 in
iwconfig output after loading ath_pci module (and the rest of the
necessary kernel modules).
Big thanks to sec_ from [EMAIL PROTECTED] for suggesting me to try
out ndiswrapper project. Also big thanks to everyone on that IRC channel
for supporting me and answering my questions.
I installed the recent 1.50 stable version of ndiswrapper and got the
driver listed on the ndiswrapper wiki List section's page for my device.
So, what I did was:
----
- downloaded driver package for my device[[BR]]
- built ndiswrapper from sources[[BR]]
- '''% ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf'''[[BR]]
- '''% ndiswrapper -l''' to see if everything's alright[[BR]]
- '''% depmod -a''' to see if there are no errors[[BR]]
- '''% modprobe ndiswrapper''' loading ndiswrapper kernel module[[BR]]
- '''% lsmod''' to see if it loaded or not[[BR]]
- '''% iwconfig''' to see if driver works (you must have wlan0 section
describing your device's settings)[[BR]]
----
This is it. And yes, that simple.
Hopefully this will be of use and will save you time.
