Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
This is still a problem with what is identified by lspci to be the:
"03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212 802.11abg
NIC (rev 01)" on my !ThinkPad T61 Running Ubuntu Hardy with the following
kernel and other information
uname -a (snippet):[[BR]]
... 2.6.24-19-generic !#1 SMP ... i686 GNU/Linux
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic[[BR]]
Which contains madwifi-0.9.4 (verified with current stable download to
be identical)
!ThinkWiki reports this specific card to be:[[BR]]
!ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter [I'd supply a
link but I can't :(][[BR]]
I can verify the following information from physical inspection of
the card itself:
Manufacturer: Anatel[[BR]]
Card Type: AR5BXB6[[BR]]
IC: 4104A-AR5BXB6[[BR]]
I have however successfully gotten the card to work now for 15 minutes
without txpower fiddling using r2756 with current iwconfig output of:
ath0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"[removed]" Nickname:""[[BR]]
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point:

dBm[[BR]]
Rx invalid nwid:26344 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid

Hopefully this helps someone :D.[[BR]]
Thanks for the effort with this driver, you've saved me from ndiswrapper
(which I've confirmed to work):D.
