Problems with ath5k and Madwifi drivers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
I have a problem with wireless not working on my laptop.
I have an Atheros card, but neither ath5k nor Madwifi drivers are 
working.

[oneiros@sincity ~]$ /sbin/lspci |grep Atheros
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 
802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

When using the ath5k driver, it will bring up wlan0, but then is 
incapable of scanning for network, or even to manually connect to known 
ESSIDs. If I deactivate and reactivate wireless in NetworkManager, I 
have those messages in /var/log/messages:

Jul 31 03:32:35 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): device state 
change: 3 -> 2
Jul 31 03:32:35 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): deactivating 
device.
Jul 31 03:32:35 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): taking down 
device.
Jul 31 03:32:38 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): bringing up 
device.
Jul 31 03:32:38 sincity kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not 
ready
Jul 31 03:32:38 sincity NetworkManager: <info>  (wlan0): device state 
change: 2 -> 3

If I use the madwifi drivers, I get this error at the startup: 

Avvio del demone Avahi... Timeout reached while waiting for return value
Could not receive return value from daemon process     [FALLITO]

then it tries to load cups and there it hungs forever.

How can I bring up wireless?
