I tried Netgear WG 511T adapter today in one laptop (old Compaq
Prosignia 150) and the card gets detected on the fly.
I tried it in a new Toshiba Satellite laptop, which has built-in
Aetheros driver, and it does not get detected on the fly!
With or without the adapter being inserted I get this following dmesg:
ath0 at pci2 dev 2 function 0 "Atheros AR5212" rev 0x01: irq 11
ath0: mac 80.6 phy 4.1 radio 1.7 2.3, 802.11a/b/g, WOR4W, address
00:90:96:72:4d:f1
gpio at ath0 not configured
And with or without the adapter being inserted I get this following ifconfig -A:
ath0: flags=8822<BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
address: 00:90:96:72:4d:f1
ieee80211: nwid ""
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect
status: no network
How will I know that this card will work in this laptop? Why it
doesn't get detected on the fly? What script or configuration file
should I look at?
Thanks for the cooperation.
