Trouble with Qualcom Atheros
I've just installed a Qualcom Atheros wifi adapter in my Slackware 15.0 system. I cannot get it to connect to the router. Another LQ member posted this same question https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-a-4175649144/ and got it to work by upgrading his Slackware. That was in 2006, so that solution isn't going to work for me as I've certainly got whatever upgrade that was incorporated into my 15.0.
My rc.inet1.conf: Code:
DEBUG_ETH_UP="no" Code:
Dec 18 14:31:51 DC1 rc.inet1[1196]: wlan0: configuring interface Code:
# lsmod | grep ath Ideas? I'm stuck and need to get this up ASAP. No, wired is not a option. |
Don't use Slackware, so I'll ask the obvious question, does Slackware include the Atheros firmware?

Later: I have the following for firmware: Code:
# ls -l /lib/firmware/ath10k |
Not a suggestion to not use slackware, a statement that I don't use slackware. Ergo have no idea if they include the firmware in a default installation or not.

Which card do you actually have? I'm guessing most likely you do indeed have the firmware from that list, but knowing exactly which chipset would let us know for sure (lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 network). Once upon a time I REALLY knew this Atheros stuff like the back of my hand, but most of it's gone the way of the dodo bird.

Well, I think the mere act of posting the question fixed the problem! LOL, After 3 hours of messing with wpa_supplicant, rebooting, powering off/on, on the last power of/on cycle it just started working. I swear I didn't change anything in the Slackware config (rc.inet1.conf), or wpa_supplicant. For the moment it's working. Dunno why. Thanks for playing. |
