 Posted: Fri May 25, 2007 6:41 pm Post subject: madwifi-ng 0.9.3.1 not creating any interface. |
 |
|
I tried updating the madwifi-ng drivers yesterday, simply because the older one didn't compile against the 2.6.21-r1 kernel source..
Well, the compilation goes fine and the module loads without an error, but I get no ath0 or the like interface...
When I try to start the init-script /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start,
it tells me that net.ath0 doesn't exist and to "please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)".
Iwconfig shows only net.lo.
I've already doublechecked the kernel config against the requirements at the madwifi-ng site, and this problem wasn't in their FAQ. 
Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong? |

try ifconfig -a (after loading the madwifi)
to find out if u have other interfaces, might be that ath0 has changed names, who knows. |

Hmm, I did some commands and thought I'd post them here..
My initial post wasn't very informative I see.. 
| Code: | # ifconfig -a
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

| Code: | # iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions. |
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start
* Starting ath0
* Loading networking modules for ath0
* modules: apipa arping ccwgroup macchanger macnet rename iwconfig essidnet iptunnel ifconfig system dhcpcd ip6to4
* iwconfig provides wireless
* ifconfig provides interface
* dhcpcd provides dhcp
* Configuration not set for ath0 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up ath0
* dhcp
* network interface ath0 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver) |

I have no idea what's wrong... All modules load without error..
Everything worked perfect with the older madwifi-ng, and now with the new one it's like my card is gone. |
