My overall goal is to use the D Link DWL-G520M card as an access point.
<snip>
wlan: 0.8.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL)
ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413)
ath_rate_sample: 1.2
ath_pci: 0.9.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL)
hostap_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
hostap_pci: 0.3.9 - 2005-06-10 (Jouni Malinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
hostap_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
<snip>
It looks like the madwifi drivers are loading just fine (wlan and
ath_xxx). But after that you are trying to load hostap, which doesn't have
support for madwifi so just reports that no hostap devices are found (as
expected).

1. Ok, so now I removed the hostap drivers.
dmesg now looks like-
eth2: 3Com 3c515 at 0x2c0, 00:10:4b:6e:e9:40, DMA 7, IRQ 7
64K word-wide RAM 1:1 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface.
3 3c515 cards found.
ip_conntrack version 2.1 (192 buckets, 1536 max) - 312 bytes per conntrack
Software Watchdog Timer: 0.05, timer margin: 60 sec
wlan: 0.8.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL)
wlan: mac acl policy registered
ath_hal: 0.9.14.9 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413)
ath_rate_sample: 1.2
ath_pci: 0.9.6.0 (EXPERIMENTAL)
2. How do you know if the card is "found"? I guess I was expecting output
similar to what the 3Com ethernet cards generated (I/O, IRQ, etc.)
3. What should you call the card in /etc/network/interfaces? I have tried
ath0 but it doesn't seem to work (or I'm wrong). If I try ifup ath0 I get-
Cannot find device "ath0"
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
part of my /etc/network/interfaces looks like-
auto ath0
iface ath0 inet static
address 192.168.2.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
Any other ideas? Thanks again.
