I'm having some serious trouble with my AR5005
I figured out most of it but the trouble now is that I can't get it to work right with the net.athX init scripts...
This is the first part of it:
| Code: | iwlist ath0 scan
ath0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Invalid argument
lsmod
Module Size Used by
wlan_wep 5376 1
wlan_acl 2976 0
ath_pci 71136 0
wlan_scan_sta 9632 1
ath_rate_sample 10784 1 ath_pci
wlan 152828 6 wlan_wep,wlan_acl,ath_pci,wlan_scan_sta,ath_rate_sample
ath_hal 189136 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_sample
|
That was partially solved by:
ifconfig ath0 up
apparently the net.athx script won't check to see if the iface is actually up...
Now the problem is getting this to work with the /etc/conf.d/wireless and /etc/conf.d/net configurations.
| Code: | (0:40:35:02/06/07) /etc/init.d/net.ath0 start --verbose
* 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
* Configuring ath0 for MAC address 00:17:3F:1D:A4:5D ... [ ok ]
* Configuring wireless network for ath0
* Scanning for access points

* Found "aaa" at 00:18:F8:55:99:91 (managed, encrypted)
* Found "aa" at 00:0C:41:BB:5D:9F (managed)
* Connecting to "xxxxx" in managed mode (WEP enabled - open) ... [ ok ]
* ath0 connected to ESSID "xxxxx" at 00:00:00:00:00:00
* in managed mode on channel 13 (WEP enabled - open)
* Configuring ath0 for ESSID "xxxxx" ... [ ok ]
* Bringing up ath0
* dhcp
* Running dhcpcd ...
Error, timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response [ !! ]

That's what I get AFTER ifconfig athx up the device... apparently it doens't associate fast enough for dhcpcd because if I try a few seconds later...
| Code: | (0:41:03:02/06/07) dhcpcd ath0
ifconfig

Anyone get the atheros cards to work with your standard net scripts? What can I do other than running ifconfig athx up and re-running dhcpcd everytime I want to connect?
the versions of stuff somewhat appropriate
