wireless networking configuration woes
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a wireless network on my Slack 14.0 (64-bit) machine (all latest patches applied).
according to lsusb my USB wireless device can be seen:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3:9170 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9170 802.11n
I believe the carl9170 driver should work with this device, cat /proc/modules shows the kernel module to be present:
ath 14755 1 carl9170, Live 0xffffffffa0117000
I have edited my rc.inet1.conf file with appropriate settings for my wireless access point. But iwconfig does not list any wireless interfaces:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
It seems my wireless card isn't being found at all. Does anyone have any suggestions for things to try to get this working?
Many thanks,
Stu
