OK,
now the driver compile and load without any problem and
the wlan0 and master0 devices are created.
There are no error in dmesg, but I can't scan for stations,
iwlist wlan0 scan
says there are no active stations.
Do I need extra modules for scanning?
I'm using an Atheros AR2413, is this device supposed to work with
the ath5k module?
Thank you in advance for any help,
regards,
Fabio
