Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: madwifi-tools
I have 2.6.26-5 kernel.
My wifi card worked up to 2.6.26-2 kernel. But does not work out of box
since then. I guess it's because madwifi ath_pci was replaced by ath5k.
ath5k does not work with this wifi card.
Card is recognized as:
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg
Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
modprobe ath5k results with this:
[ 2109.632907] ath5k_pci 0000:05:00.0: registered as 'phy0'
[ 2109.711209] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
[ 2109.778020] ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2424 chip found (MAC: 0xa0, PHY: 0x61)
[ 2109.778020] udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to ath0
[ 2109.858722] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): ath0: link is not ready
My card works again when downloading source from madwifi.org and
launching: modprobe ath_pci.
