Hi everybody,
this isn't really a support request, because my Netgear Ma101 runs fine with at76c503a (those drivers from berlios).
However, I just realized that the latest mm-sources feature "Atmel at76c50x chipset 802.11b support". Since I hate recompiling modules whenever I'm switching to a new kernel I gave it a try.
Now I can modprobe atmel, but I found this running dmesg:
| Code: | | request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- wlan0. error = 256 |
Needless to say, there is no wlan0 according to iwconfig. I'm also unable to upload a firmware using the atmel_fwl command.
Has anybody else already tried it? If so, please tell me about your level of success.

| I remember reading that support was dropped for certain chipsets, perhaps yours was one of them. Which revision MA101 do you have? |

it's revision B. They dropped intersil support last year, but this shouldn't be a problem in this case.
Maybe I'll find some information in the kernel changelogs.
