Hi.
I have problem witch Atheros card.

I don't know what to do.

[xaviermiller]

What is your kernel configuration? It seems the ath9k module is not compiled.

[fanatico]

I do it like that.
Go to /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig.Load everything with Atheros, and make && make modules_install. Is this ok?

---Atheros Wireless Cards

[*] Atheros 5xxx tracer

<*> Atheros 802.11 n wireless card support
[*] Atheros ath9k debugging

I have everything with Atheros as *.

Gentoo ~ # whereis .config

Should I remove .config.old?
When I cat .config I dont see anything with Atheros. Why?[/code]

[xaviermiller]

Hello,

It would be better if you select the drivers as modules.
Did you also

Code: Select all

make install
make modules_install

?

[fanatico]

Hi.
Yes I do. Problem still exist and I don't know what to do.

Gentoo ~ # /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
* Bringing up interface wlan0
* ERROR: interface wlan0 does not exist
* Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
* ERROR: net.wlan0 failed to start

[chithanh]

When "lspci -k" doesn't list ath9k as "kernel driver in use" for your wireless, then your kernel is not configured correctly.

Verify that ath9k is actually enabled with

Code: Select all

# zgrep ATH9K /proc/config.gz

CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC must be enabled for /proc/config.gz to exist.

[fanatico]

Gentoo proc # zgrep ATH9K /proc/config.gz
gzip: /proc/config.gz: No such file or directory

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

So, what to do now?

[chithanh]

enable IKCONFIG_PROC in menuconfig, press / to search if you can't find it. Then compile and install the kernel.

After this I have problem with system start. I have black screen with many different line like:

Hi Guys,

Sorry to hijack this old thread, but i have the exact same problem, wlan0 will not show up anymore. It worked for some time and then it stopped.

I have the same error messages as above and im clueless how i can get it working again. Also lspci -k is the same result. Using Kernel 3.04 here.

But here are the strange things:

When i boot up and i get network connection as usual, my device is shown as: AR922X

When i boot up and dont get anything like above described, lspci says i have a AR5008.

Whats happening here? Are there 2 modes/chips on the pci card ? How can i switch if i dont get access to the device?

Also i noted, when i boot up an ubuntu live cd it will most likly display my correct card and get me into the www.

If i do a reset on the pc while i have wlan0 (plug power cord) i will definitely not get wlan the next time i boot up. Could this be that the card is in an unsupported stage when this happens, and need to reset?

Also a Bios reset is sometimes usefull if i dont get wlan0. Other than that i cant do anything...

Also this is happening while i use an UEFI Bios ? Could this be the problem ?

[KillerHonky]

Had the same problem with recent kernel releases. The fix is in menuconfig you have to enable the pci/pci-e bus under the atheros driver, not sure why they split it at all. Kind of obnoxious.

[GenProm]

Thanks, I noticed this behaviour also on a 39 kernel, there i cant selset the pci option. But maybe they started implementing it in the code.

Anyway. I selseted: PCI/PCIe bus support. Do i also have to select AHB bus support to avoid trouble ?

Also do you know what SoC means in the kernel conig ?

Thanks for your help man

[xaviermiller]

Hello,

I also have such Atheros card, and I use the ath5k module, which works perfectly.

[KillerHonky]

No problem. But no, you should just be fine enabling the PCI option and I'm in class at the moment but I know I have some knowledge of SoC, I'll post when I get home. Glad I could be of assistance.

[GenProm]

Thanks, That solved the problem in some ways.

I still cant find the card after some reboots, cause it is the 5008 again in lspci but plug off the power cord and do an unexpected reboot somehow resets the card so i can use it another 5 to 10 reboots, what is not great but better than buying a new card.

I use the kernel 3.0.4 now. Do you also get the problem, that the card is sometimes detected as another card and is then not functioning ? Just curious why this is happening.

Nope I do not, honestly it almost sounds like your card is failing, my condolences if so. Do you have a nother OS installed or a liveCD you can test to see if the same thing happens? I can attest to it running just fine in 3.0.4 and 3.0.4-r1.

EDIT: Oh wow, totally misread from the beginning, I'm sorry. I thought you were using an AR5008. But the AR5001 appears to be an a/b/g card, so why are you enabling the atheros n driver, shouldn't you be using ath5k not ath9k?

yup

Also, why in the world is this in desktop environments? This should be in kernel & hardware...
