Atheros Madwifi driver not working on debian squeeze
Ok so i recently upgraded from debian stable(lenny) to debian testing(squeeze) and I wanted i was reinstalling all of my old drivers, settings, applications, etc. starting with my wireless internet. I built and installed my madwifi source( i have the source in a .tar.gz file not from a repository) and modprobed ath_pci as I am supposed and everything seemed to be going fine except when i rebooted the computer ath0 and wifi0 still havent show up and wlan0 is still there...
here is the output from my iwconfig Code:
my-comp:/home/myuser# iwconfig thank you in advance for any help as it is much appreciated! |
Seems like its already been installed, wlan is there
pan0 is, i think something associated with bluetooth; just ignore it |
fixed it!
I did lsmod and found ath5k module was already loaded which is known to interfere with the MADWIFI drivers...i blacklisted ath5k and restarted my computer and everything worked...thank you anyway for your help! |
glad to hear you did it
remember to mark thread as solved if you've |
