Hi: Hoping for a little guidance. PCMCIA wireless card using atheros chipset worked fine under FC4 updated using the madwifi kernel module from livna. System-config-network recognized the card as ath0. The card also could be activated in a terminal using the command ifconfig ath0 up. Last weekend did a fresh install of FC5, updated, and installed the madwifi kernel modules. The wireless card no longer works. Symptoms: 1. System-config-network sees the card, identifies it as an atheros card, but lists its device name as wifi0. Attempts to activate the device through system-config-network fail. The card does not begin to blink. 2. In a terminal, ifconfig wifi0 up does not activate the card. No blinking, no connection to the nearby wireless router. 3. In a terminal, ifconfig ath0 up gets the card up and blinking, and iwlist ath0 scan shows it has connected to the wireless router, but the system somehow isn't seeing the connection as a network interface, because I can't pull up any websites through it. (This isn't a problem with the wireless router: I can run a cable to it through the eth0 interface and everything works fine.) 4. Here's the message log when plugging in the wireless card: Sep 7 07:22:49 localhost gconfd (root-4829): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 Sep 7 07:22:49 localhost gconfd (root-4829): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1 Sep 7 07:22:49 localhost gconfd (root-4829): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only configuration source at position 2 Sep 7 07:22:52 localhost gconfd (root-4829): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/root/.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 0 Sep 7 07:23:26 localhost kernel: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 Sep 7 07:23:26 localhost kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) Sep 7 07:23:26 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: turboG rates: 6Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: H/W encryption support: WEP AES AES_CCM TKIP Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: mac 7.9 phy 4.5 radio 5.6 Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: Use hw queue 1 for WME_AC_BE traffic Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: Use hw queue 0 for WME_AC_BK traffic Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: Use hw queue 2 for WME_AC_VI traffic and when unplugging the wireless card: Sep 7 07:23:27 localhost kernel: wifi0: Use hw queue 3 for WME_AC_VO traffic Looks to me like I need to link ath0 and wifi0 somewhere. Anybody have some advice on this one? Thanks, Dana in Flourtown
