Hello All, I been configuring a access point using this atheros card.
00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01) My Linux is a Debian Lenny Linux debian 2.6.26-2-486 #1 Sun Jun 21 04:15:19 UTC 2009 i586 GNU/Linux I'm using the apt-get headers for the debian I installed. ii linux-headers-2.6.26-2-486 2.6.26-21 Header files for Linux 2.6.26-2-486 ii linux-image-2.6.26-2-486 2.6.26-17 Linux 2.6.26 image on x86 rc madwifi-modules-2.6.26-2-486 1:0.9.4+r3772.20080716-1+2.6.26-17 modules for the Multiband Atheros Driver for My Wireless card starts like: [ 19.779977] ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.

I just like to know if you guys know something I can do to fix it, or better yet; you have something like this running? it in fact working ? What linux and cards are running, driver version, kernel version? so I can mach your configuration and make it work. Thanks in advance and sorry for the really long email.
