Nice!
But how is that supposed to work? Perhaps you don't have an atheros
chipset at all? If you have an atheros chipset then you will need
madwifi/dadwifi and hal/openhal to use it.
Oh, it is definitely the Atheros chipset. Given to me by my friends at
Atheros at one of the 802.11 meetings over a year ago....
I was supprised/shocked. I was watching the boot and saw an attempt to
aquire an IP address for wifi0. Gee, I had not configured my wireless
card at all. Why did Kudzu discover the card, I had never installed the
madwifi kernel drivers. Yeah, I DID install the WPA and wireless tools
(wpa_supplicant, wpa_cli, wpa_dui, iwconfig, wlanconfig, etc) but not
the madwifi-kmdl or madwifi-hal-kdml. So what is going on?
All I had to do was to get the wpasupplicant running as a deamon,
reading my wpasupplicant.conf file (with the PSK for my network), and I
was Associated. Then grab a dhcp lease and off I went wirelessly.
Is there any tool to analyse the kernel to see if the madwifi drivers
are in the sauce?
