Instead of using modprobe, try to insmod the individual components (ath_hal, ath_pci, etc) one at a time, and look for error messages. That may give you the info you need. ----- Original Message ----- From: ielix To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 07, 2010 1:04 PM Subject: [Madwifi-users] wifi0/ath0 not listed under ifconfig Madwifi-users, I have just installed slackware 13.1 on a samsung r580 with an atheros Ar 9285 card in it. When installing I began by blacklisting the ath9k drivers and rebooting (The card seems to work prefectly using these drivers, however packet injection shows no performance). I then downloaded the latest version of madwifi-ng using svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/trunk madwifi-ng. make and make install complete without errors. However after issuing modprobe ath_pci, wifi0/ath0 are still not listed under ifconfig or iwconfig. lsmod |grep ath lists ath_pci, wlan and ath_hal as having been installed properly. Howver I have noticed that they do not load during start up. I have manually added ath_pci to the rc.modules file which seems to have fixed that problem however dmesg does not seem to list any reference to them. I have tried installing both madwifi and madwifi-ng with the same results, I must admit that I am very new to Linux and I apologise in advance for any fundamental mistakes that I may have made. I appreciate your time and hope you can help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Madwifi-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/madwifi-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Internal Virus Database is out of date.
