works like a charm here.
The driver in the non-gpl kernel rpm didn't work on my machine either -- an HP/Compaq nw8000. I even tried compiling the madwifi source myself but didn't have time to fix the errors in the make files. I reverted back to 9.3 on this machine till another release comes out.
Anyone else with an HP/Compaq nw8000 have the wireless up and running? If so, how?
Where are your details?
What details would you like? I simply asked for others who have the same machine to describe their experiences during installation/configuration, especially with respect to the wireless nic.
As for lspci, I already indicated the device info (read: Atheros AR5212 802.11abg). Not that it makes any difference to my original question, but here goes: lspci 0000:02:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) lspci -n 0000:02:04.0 Class 0200: 168c:0013 (rev 01)
If you're asking for more info about my problems with RC1 and the wireless nic -- from a developers point of view -- then I may not be able to help. I didn't save details and I've since copied my 9.3 install back to the machine. I could certainly find the time to reinstall RC1 again if you think it would help identify/resolve a -- potential -- problem.
It is the same chip and even the same revision as mine. So why don't you simply try to discard ndiswrapper and start YaST2, Network, Network card? This way you would not even need to say "modprobe ath_pci" - YaST2 would do it for you. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
