I am wondering, for those who have an AR5007EG card, if they are finding that lately (perhaps 2 updates or so ago) that they are better off reverting to the MadWifi drivers. My results are not consistent. I imagine there are various differences in the chipsets that I'm missing, but with two Acer laptops, one the Aspire One, I get different results. With the 4720z, the latest kernels and ath5k module works without any issues. On the AA1, it will sometimes show nothing if doing iwlist scan, and other times, though it will show available networks, will not get a DHCP address, nor work with a statically assigned address. I don't use NetworkManager, I configure it manually, so that shouldn't be a factor. I note that the latest Ubuntu is disabling the ath5k module by default, saying, in their release notes, that it will conflict with the MadWifi driver--however, they seem a bit ambiguous as to which works better. (They say that with some of the chipsets, the MadWifi won't work with WPA, or maybe WPA2.) In that case, one wonders why they are disabling the ath5k instead of encouraging people to use it--this is why I felt it was a bit ambiguous, they just suggest that if your MadWifi driver isn't working, install a backports modules with updated ath5k drivers. The 4720z is working well with the ath5k. So this might be some issue with the AA1, however, I have a few installations on this machine--those that are using the MadWifi driver connect without issue, while Rawhide isn't. So, I'm wondering what other people are experiencing. Is the ath5k working for you? Thanks for any input--please note that at present, this is a fairly trivial question as it's quite easy to blacklist and put in the MadWifi driver. Then, I uninstall it and put back the ath5k with each update. :) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Spike:'Made with care for Randy.'
