Hi all,
I tried to install and configure the driver for DWL-G510 d-link on
fedora 4. Fisrtly, I installed following rpm packages:
madwifi-kmdl-2.6.14*
madwifi-0.9.6.0-18*
reboot
and when I restarted the machine, it search the wireless driver and
shows the message:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Error for wireless request "Set mode" (8B06)
SET failed on device ath0; Invalid argument
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When I see the configuration in the system setup of network manager,
it's shown this:
---------------------------------------------
ath0(Atheros Communication, Inc..Unknown device 001a)
---------------------------------------------
What should I do ?!?!
Have someone here that installed wireless driver for DWL-G510 (Atheros's
driver) on fedora ?!?!
I use the "old" version of Madwifi and build from source from
http://www.madwifi.org. I've not been able to get the "madwifi-ng"
version to work.
Each time I install a new kernel, I have to boot into single user mode
and use make;make install to update the drivers with the stuff needed
for the current kernel, then reboot into normal mode.
The error you report above can be fixed in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ath0 by adding "RATE=Auto" to the
file, replacing any other "RATE=" line.
