In some places you will find the name of the chipset instead of the name of the chip Atheros reference design Chipset: AR5210 (802.11a only) URL: Interface: Cardbus Antenna Connector unknown type) Device Information:168c:0007 Subsystem: Unknown device 168c:1011 Atheros AR5001 X+ Atheros AR5002 X Chipset: AR5002 X = ( AR5212 + AR5112) Chip: AR5212 (802.11a +?) URL: Supports: IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g Notes: Also works with madwifi-old-openhal Atheros AR5002 G Chipset: AR5002 G = ( AR5212 + AR2112) Chip: AR5212 (802.11?) URL: Supports: IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g Notes: Should work with madwifi-old-openhal but not tested, please give feedback Atheros AR5004 X Chipset: AR5004 X = ( AR5213 + AR5112) Chip: AR5213 (802.11a +?)

See this page for how to get it going: Working: not working with version, dmesg reports: unable to attach hardware: ' Hardware revision not supported' ( HAL status 13) Notes: Several tickets indicate this; no response was ever given. However, some users have reported success, but could not confirm this. Notes: Works perfectly on Slackware 11 (kernel ) and madwifi. Just modprobe ath_pci after compiling/installing. (this on an Acer 3102 wlmi) Notes: For Kernel use trunk version (madwifi.

Needs Expansion This article is incomplete, and needs to be expanded. More info. Driver Name: Madwifi Module Name: ath_pci Supports: PCI Devices with Atheros chipsets There will be usb support in a future release. Project Home Page: 2. Support Channels When using a shared key, the driver must be modified with this command for it to work sudo iwpriv authmode 2 3.1. Ubuntu 8.10 ( Intrepid) The built-in drivers/modules (ath5k) are in linux-backports-modules-intrepid package. More information on debugging problems on its installation can be found here: 3.2. Ubuntu 8.04 ( Hardy) The drivers are in the restricted modules package; also see the madwifi-tools package. sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules madwifi-tools 3.3. Ubuntu 7.10 ( Gutsy) The Madwifi driver has so far only been updated to include a few bug fixes. 3.4. Ubuntu 7.04 ( Feisty) The wlanconfig tool is now available from the universe repository in the madwifi-tools package. 3.5. Ubuntu 6.10 ( Edgy) The version of Madwifi included in Ubuntu 6.10 was switched to madwifi-ng. So these devices will just work out of the box. Simply install and configure in the Networking control panel. The wlanconfig tool is not present in Ubuntu 6.10, but there is a backport package from 7.04 available. 3.6. Ubuntu 6.06 ( Dapper) The version of Madwifi included with Ubuntu 6.06 is madwifi-old. This was considered to be more stable than the new madwifi-ng at the time of release. If you need WPA support then you will need to specify the Madwifi driver interface with wpa_supplicant. 3.7. Ubuntu 5.10 ( Breezy) Madwifi is part of the breezy release (madwifi-old v. ). It is inside of the package linux-restricted-modules- kerenl v If a card is inserted and recognized during install then.
