Hello Slackers,
I've installed slackware 12.2 and am having trouble with my atheros wireless card.
I've read alot of other members posts that are experiencing similar issues but haven't found a solution that's worked for me.
What's going on is my wireless card is getting detected and everything and is using the ath5k driver but I can't connect to any access points.
I've read other users having the same problem and it's supposedly because the ath5k driver doesn't work well with encryption.
What I've tried is to download and install the madwifi driver but can't get it to compile.
I found a thread on here that talks about using a snapshot of the madwifi source and that will work, but I can't find that thread anymore or the site by googling.
If someone could point me to a already submitted thread or just the best method to use to get this working I would greatly appreciate.
I've seen a lot of stuff on this but I've kinda gotten lost in the many different variations of the problem and figuring out which symptoms I'm experiencing.
In the meantime I'm going to go through this How-to:
http://madwifi.org/Downloads/0.Howto...ll.Madwifi.txt
Let me know if you need me to post any info like lspci,lsmod, or dmesg.
Thanks in advance.
