perhaps you need some additions to /etc/pcmcia/config? from http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk/madwifi-faq.htm ----------------- ts also handy to note that the card is handled by a combination of hotplug and pcmcia, so you need to put: device "ath_pci" class "network" module "wlan", "ath_hal", "ath_pci" card "Atheros Wireless 802.11 b/g Card" manfid 0x0271, 0x0012 bind "ath_pci" In /etc/pcmcia/config.opts ------------------ I've used this driver with mini-pci - not pcmcia - so I don't know if there are any additional configuration required for pcmcia. The error messages kinda sugest - hardware was not detected - so perhaps the chipset is not aheros? Satish On Tue, 16 Mar 2004, Bill Johnson wrote: > Thanks for the reply!
