I own a "Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:7015 Atheros Communications, Inc. TP-Link TL-WN821N v3 802.11n [Atheros AR7010+AR9287]", according to lsusb. I'm attempting to get the carl9170 ( http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170 ) driver to work with it, as should be possible according to h-node ( http://www.h-node.org/wifi/view/en/253/ ) in Parabola GNU/Linux. Despite my valiant efforts however, I cannot seem to get a WiFi interface to display via "ip link" (only my 'etho' and 'lo'). At this point, my dmesg tail after rmmod'ing and modprobing carl9170 looked somewhat like this: ( http://www.pastie.org/pastes/3902525/text ). An anonymous peer managed to find a forum thread ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123851 ) that brought up the issue of blacklisting. Prior to reading the thread, I had only blacklisted arusb_lnx and ar9170usb, as per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup#carl9170 . Post-thread-reading, I have created a larger blacklist file: http://pastie.org/pastes/3903116/text . At this point, when subjected to similar conditions as described above my dmesg tail looked a bit like this: http://pastie.org/pastes/3903121/text . This was where circumstances got confusing, as according to the latter dmesg tail, the device should be registered. But alas, after "ip link"ing again, only eth0 and lo are to be found. This problem originated on irc://irc.freenode.net/#parabola, so if reading anonymized IRC logs is your thing you can go back to the roots of my dilemma here: http://pastie.org/pastes/3903246/text Much thanks is awarded to (s)he who can solve my misfortune. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
