Comment (by jebba):
This on a 4G asus eeepc. This is using the ath5k driver, not madwifi, HAL,
OpenHAL, etc.
I hope this info helps you in your development.
2.6.24 kernel as a base (along with a number of other unrelated patches)
(spam prevents urls below...)
Updated wireless:
{{{
2008-04-02
linuxwireless dot org download compat-wireless-2.6 compat-
wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
}}}
Then built ath5k from Nick Kossifidis tarball:
{{{
kernel dot org pub linux kernel people mickflemm ath5k-2425-test2.tar.bz2
}}}
I had to disable PM in kernel:
{{{
CONFIG_PM=no
}}}
With the driver loaded dmesg
{{{
ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5418 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70)
}}}
More info with module loaded.

I can see the device with `iwconfig` fine:
{{{
# iwconfig ath0
ath0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:""

}}}
I can change the ESSID:
{{{
# iwconfig ath0 essid foo && iwconfig ath0 | grep ESSID && iwconfig ath0
essid bar && iwconfig ath0 | grep ESSID
ath0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"foo"
ath0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"bar"
}}}
I can change the channel:
{{{
# iwconfig ath0 channel 1 && iwconfig ath0 | grep Frequency && iwconfig
ath0 channel 6 && iwconfig ath0 | grep Frequency
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
}}}
I can NOT change the mode, garr garr garr:
{{{
# iwconfig ath0 mode ad-hoc
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device ath0 ; Device or resource busy.
}}}
Scanning doesn't see anything (there is an open/advertised network here):
{{{
# iwlist ath0 scan
ath0 No scan results
}}}
