Hi! (I CC'd the main author email address)
I have trouble to getting my SMC WCB-G Cardbus wifi (atheros chipset) working. First, I have nothing done, just compiled madwifi driver as a module, and loaded ath_pci module. But in the dmesg was only these lines: ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413) wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn 1457) ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (svn 1457) ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn 1457) Normaly there must be many more lines. I have readed this page: http://prinsig.se/weekee/index.php/PCMCIA_%28hw%29 original: http://www1.pacific.edu/~khughes/presario-r3120us/#credits I have following the tutorial; I have done the setpci thing too, but not appeared in lspci. The main problem: I have 2.6.16-rc4 kernel. pcmcia-cs if <2.6.13 pcmciautils if >2.6.13-rc3 (found at this page: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian ) So I have pcmciautils package installed, and the howto its not really appropriate. Anyway, if I start the '/etc/init.d/pcmciautils start', I got this error message (under debian SID): * No PCMCIA bridge module specified The patch what is referenced at the author's webpage, is already closed, there is a fix in the mainline kernel (>2.6.13). Here is the link: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2944 The initial problem, that I didnt have any info from my cardbus card: buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia# pccardctl insert buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia# pccardctl info PRODID_1="" PRODID_2="" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,0000 FUNCID=255 PRODID_1="" PRODID_2="" PRODID_3="" PRODID_4="" MANFID=0000,0000 FUNCID=255 buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia# cardctl insert no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia# pccardctl status Socket 0: 3.3V 32-bit PC Card Socket 1: no card buza:/lib/modules/2.6.16-rc3p2/kernel/drivers/pcmcia# And the ath_pci module didnt created any wifi0/ath0 interface. MY question is: Is it anybody around there with a Cardbus/pcmcia card and >2.6.14 kernel? (pcmciautils package) How can I make it work? Any idea is really appreciated. Anyway, I will do a tutorial how to get working a SMC WCB-G card (or any other atheros chipset card).
