Madwifi driver atheros ar5007eg
Translation(s Français - Italiano This page describes how to enable support for Wi Fi devices based on Atheros 802.11a/bg PCI/ PCI- E chips, using the ath5k driver on Debian systems. ath5k is a Linux kernel driver supporting Atheros 802.11a/bg PCI/ PCI- E chips, introduced at Linux. Supported devices are listed at the end of this page. Unlike the Mad Wifi driver, ath5k does not require a binary HAL (hardware abstraction layer). No firmware is required to be loaded from userspace. Atheros 802.11a/bg USB devices are supported by the zd1211rw driver. Atheros 802.11n PCI/ PCI- E devices are supported by the ath9k driver. Installation Connect the device to your system. The ath5k kernel module is automatically loaded for supported devices. Configure your wireless interface as appropriate. Supported Devices The page How To Identify ADevice/ PCI explains how to identify a PCI device. The following list is based on the alias fields of modinfo ath5k in Debian 3.16 ( -ckt9-3~deb8u1) kernel images.

madwifi-ng This page only deals with the net80211 version of the madwifi-ng driver. For the mac80211 ath5k version see the mac80211 page. To understand the differences, see mac80211 versus ieee80211 stacks write-up. IMPORTANT If you have a new kernel that supports mac80211 and includes the new ath5k driver then you MUST blacklist it otherwise the net80211 version of the module below will not work. See blacklisting mac80211 driver version below. ifconfig ath0 down ifconfig wifi0 down svn -r 4073 checkout madwifi-ng cd madwifi-ng wget patch - N -p 1 -i madwifi-ng-r4073.patch./scripts/madwifi-unload make make install depmod -ae modprobe ath_pci Notes: The patch is designed to eliminate invalid retries. At “make install”, you may be asked if you want to remove old modules, type 'r' to do it. To determine which version of the madwifi-ng drivers you are currently using, enter “modinfo ath_pci”. This will provide the version number plus other information. You should delete all existing VAP before before creating a VAP in monitor mode, using airmon-ng stop ath X (replacing X with the interface number to delete). Usage Tips Support for Atheros 802.11b/g/n cards Support for Atheros chip ID 0x0024 (rev 01) 802.11b/g/n cards ( AR5008). The new cards are now (experimentally) supported in trunk. The above code will cause them to work! NOTE: 11n rates are not supported yet. Support for Atheros AR2425 ( AR5007 EG) chipset (including EEE PC) - PCI ID 168c001c NOTE: This section is included for historical purposes. The AR5007 EG is now supported by the base driver instructions above. To determine the PCI ID under linux, enter “lspci -nn”. The output should look similar to this: Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter.
