Checking for experience with a D-link wlan card (cardbus)

Ephracis · 03-19-2005, 11:46 PM

I have a D-link DWL-AG650 card. It is a WLAN cardbus and when I put it into the slot one lamp starts to blink. A friend tested it in windows and it works fine (but then two lamps are blinking since it is scanning for a network).

Here is what lspci give:

Code:

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

Now, I cannot find any drivers for this one and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with it or maybe knows if it works in Linux.

I have installed it and got no errors, but after everything I tried "modprobe ath_pci" and got this:

Code:

FATAL: Error inserting ath_pci (/lib/modules/2.6.11.5/net/ath_pci.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Here is the last lines from dmesg:

What is wrong and how do I fix it? :/

I can't really tell whats wrong since I'm still relatively a newbie but I'm guessing it has to do with your wireless network options of your kernel.
