what software is running my wireless card?
Hi, I know there is a command lspci that lists all of your hardware. I used it to find my wireless card (atheros). But now, I'm wondering what software is running my card? The reason I ask is, I want to switch it to "mad-wifi" (I hear it's good). How can I check what's controlling my wifi right now?
Thanks! |
If you are not using madwifi then you would more than likely be using ndiswrapper. How it is setup can very from distro to distro. I would first run the command ' /sbin/ifconfig -a ' and see what name the interface is using. More than likely wlan0 if so run the command ' /sbin/lsmod | grep ndis ' and see if ndiswrapper is loaded.

You're already using MadWifi, as indicated by your device being called "ath0" and the modules you've got loaded with "ath" in them.

Yes it using madwifi. The wifi is referencing to ath0 madwifi interface. Compare mac address info.
