hi,
i have compiled madwifi-0.9.4 driver for my powerpc board.am able to do
make and make install for my surrently runing on board kernel
linux-2.4.25. the wlan module am using is atheroes chip SR5.after i do
make and make install am able to load modules compiled by modprobe ath_pci
and am succesfully able to create the ath0 interface and i can see it.
but when i hit the command iwlist for scanning the access point i get the
result as shown below and even same for the iwconfig command,and am unable
to make a ping to the accesspoint i have that is DLINK AP
{{{
bash-2.05b# iwlist ap
lo Interface doesn't have a list of Access Points
eth0 Interface doesn't have a list of Access Points
wifi0 Interface doesn't have a list of Access Points
Warning: Driver for device ath0 has been compiled with version 16
of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 13.
Some things may be broken...
ath0 No Access Point in range
}}}
what could be wrong please do suggest me on this and what to check out for
to resolve this issue.
Comment:
There are many possible causes for what you see, such as "modules for
scanning not loaded" or "diversity setup messed up". The "wireless
extensions v13 vs. v16" mismatch that is mentioned in the output you've
pasted might be another case.
Thus please contact our [wiki:Support regular support channels] first. If
it turns out that your problems are actually caused by a bug in the
driver, feel free to reopen the ticket.
