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.

  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.
