I have patched my copy of the madwifi-devel stream with Mr. Roskin's AR9220= patch (found at http://madwifi-users.20070.n2.nabble.com/MadWifi-driver-fails-to-= recognize-Ubiquity-card-td5294763.html <http://madwifi-users.20070.n2.nabble= .com/MadWifi-driver-fails-to-recognize-Ubiquity-card-td5294763.html> ). The card appears to be working from the software side of things - I can bri= ng up the interface, setup ssid and a channel, and retrieve stats. The radio, however, does not seem to be producing any RF output - confirmed= by an 802.11 power analyzer connected to either of the antennas. I have tried setting the RFKILL parameter both in software and hardware (bl= ocking the appropriate PCI pin), to no avail. I would welcome any ideas regarding using similar (pciid 0x168c0029) cards = with Madwifi. Perhaps someone would have an updated patch (which would be ve= ry appreciated)?
