#1768: ath5k is getting no IP with dhcp ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Type: defect Status: new | Priority: major Component: ath5k | Version: Keywords: | Patch_attached: 0 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Dear maintainers,
withe the latest kernel version in Debian/sid (2.6.24) it is the first time, ath5k is delivered. Well, sadly I have to tell you, it is not working properly. Description: The wlan-device can not get an IP with dhcp. Hardware: lspci is telling: 04:05.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR2413 802.11bg NIC (rev 01) ( dmesg is telling: wifi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wifi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps wifi0: H/W encryption support: WEP AES AES_CCM TKIP wifi0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6 wifi0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 8 for CAB traffic wifi0: Use hw queue 9 for beacons wifi0: Atheros 5212: mem=0xc3000000, irq=18 Ok, this is the output using madwifi-driver. What I found out about ath5k with kernel 2.6.24: - The driver is loaded - the device is called "ath0" (the name "wlan0" is changed to ath0 by udev, but the name does not matter. I changed it to wlan0, with no difference) - all iwconfig commands are working well. - kernel-drivers ieee80211 and/or ieee80211softmac can both be loaded (manually) , but also no difference. - dhcp in the commandline is NOT working ! Reason seem to be the wrong device. Please take a look at my stdout. ------ snip ------ # dhclient 192.168.1.1 ath0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.0 Copyright 2004-2007 Internet Systems Consortium. All rights reserved.

As it is not possible, to build madwifi-drivers against the latest kernel (there should be another bugreport about this), and I still need to run the older kernel. So, I am asking for help. Please feel free, to ask for any information you need. Best regards Hans-J.
