Comment (by quique.costa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
Hello!
I have been following this ticket and the 1192 one for several
months.[[BR]]
I'm working with a LGE notebook, E500-S.AP17B LG-1636 on Fedora 8
(2.6.23.8-63.fc8 #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 18:51:08 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux).[[BR]]
My notebook is equipped with an Atheros adapter:
/sbin/lspci -d 168c:001c
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11
b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)[[BR]]
I downloaded a Madwifi rpm from tchung.fedorapeople.org / madwifi /
ar2425/2.6.23.8_63.fc8/ which seems to be acurate to my software.[[BR]]
I installed it without any problem.[[BR]]
I 'blacklisted' my ath5k coming with Fedora 8[[BR]]
I unloaded ath5k and loaded ath_pci ... OK[[BR]]
Untill now things seem to work nice, I can see my wlan0:[[BR]]
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Nickname:""[[BR]]
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-
Associated[[BR]]
Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:17 dBm Sensitivity=1/1[[BR]]
Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off[[BR]]
Power Management:off[[BR]]
Link Quality=0/70 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=0 dBm[[BR]]
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0[[BR]]
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Even, I can put the right essid, my nickname, the channel number if I like
to, but when I try to enable the adapter it waits for some time
saying:[[BR]]
Determinando la información IP para wlan0...[[BR]]
(determining IP Information for wlan0 ...)[[BR]]
... and then I get a fault[[BR]]
My ifcfg-wlan0 file says:
# Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express
Adapter[[BR]]
DEVICE=wlan0[[BR]]
BOOTPROTO=dhcp[[BR]]
ONBOOT=no[[BR]]
HWADDR=00:15:af:3d:79:ed[[BR]]
NETMASK=[[BR]]
DHCP_HOSTNAME=aquiles[[BR]]
IPADDR=[[BR]]
DOMAIN=[[BR]]
TYPE=Wireless[[BR]]
USERCTL=yes[[BR]]
IPV6INIT=no[[BR]]
PEERDNS=no[[BR]]
ESSID=cosmez[[BR]]
CHANNEL=6[[BR]]
MODE=Managed[[BR]]
RATE=Auto
Would you like, anybody, to help me?[[BR]]
What is so far wrong?
