AR5004X seems to work fine. Don't work: ENGENIUS EMP-8602(+) 400 mW a/b/g AR5413 rev 1.0 and 1.1 AR5006X PCI ID 168c:001b 168c:2063 SparkLAN WMIA-166AG a/b/g AR5414A AR5006XS PCI ID 168c:001b 17f9:000d Testing with: # modprobe ath5k # ifconfig wlan0 up # iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results madwifi.org ath5k dmesg (with 2.6.22 kernel, EMP-8602): ath5k: MAC revision: 5413 (0xa4) ath5k: PHY revision: SChip (0x63) ath5k: EEPROM version: 5.2 wmaster0: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple' John's git repository (2.6.23-current, EMP-8602): wmaster0: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple' ath_pci 0000:00:0d.0: AR5212 chip found: mac 10.10 phy 6.1 This is ARM-based system (Intel IXP425) but just tried with AMD64 (madwifi ath5k only) - results are the same. AR5004X based card shows few devices in the neighbourhood, max signal ~ 20/127. Any ideas? -- Krzysztof Halasa
