atheros wireless not recognized
My apologies if the answer to this is obvious, but despite days of trying, it isn't to me. The basic problem, I cannot make my laptop recognize my Dlink DWL-G50 (rev B2, Atheros chipset) wireless card. On boot, my card shows up from the cardmgr, but it is claimed to be unsupported.

My diagnosis is that the drivers aren't in a card services file, so I try to loadthe madwifi drivers myself Quote:

I have revision C2 of the same card and I had to create an ifcfg-ath0 file. I'm not sure if this is distro specific or not but in Fedora Core 2 I used this script. And it was in /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/
