Hello, I recently bought a wifi card with an atheros AR5212 chipset. I am currently trying to make it work with my ultra5 sun station. However it is impossible to scan (iwlist scan) or to use wpa_supplicant. For information this is the version of my machine, OS... | cpu: TI UltraSparc IIi (Sabre) | OS: Linux 2.6.24-rc6-mm1 sparc64 / Debian testing | wpa_supplicant: wpa_supplicant v0.6.0 | iwconfig: Wireless-Tools version 29 | ath5k: version 0.1.1 (modinfo information)
The following output is produced when I try to scan:
| [1109] > rmmod ath5k ; rmmod mac80211 ; modprobe ath5k ; ifconfig wlan0 up
| [1110] > iwlist wlan0 scan
| wlan0 No scan results
and dmesg produce the followigng ouput:
| [ 8205.807057] ath5k_pci 0000:02:03.0: registered as 'phy7'
| [ 8205.905955] phy7: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple'

| [ 8206.164118] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
The following output is produced when I try to use wpa_supplicant:
| [1114] > rmmod ath5k ; rmmod mac80211 ; modprobe ath5k ; ifconfig wlan0 up

and dmesg produce the followigng ouput:
[ 8409.415436] ath5k_pci 0000:02:03.0: registered as 'phy9'

| [ 8409.772567] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
I obtain the same result with the following wpa_supplicant driver: wext and
bsd. For information I use WPA (TKIP + AES) encryption and my wpa_supplicant
configuration file is:
| network={
| ssid="wifi_kochon"
| scan_ssid=1
| key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
| psk="XXX""
| }
Thanks,
cedric.
