Hi,
op mijn laptop (amd 64) heb ik een atheros wireless card. Meerdere malen heb ik op verschillende manieren die card proberen te installeren maar het lukt mij nog niet.
Op de laptop heb ik een dou-boot van debian (etch) en windows vista. Op de windows wordt de wireless card erkend maar op debian niet.
De laatste pogin om de card te installeren is madwifi. Hieronder de stappen die ik genomen heb.
Zou iemand mij kunnen helpen met het installeren van de card!
Alvast bedankt,
after updating source.list madwifi's website instructs the following commands:
apt-get update
apt-get install madwifi-source
apt-get install madwifi-tools
m-a prepare
m-a a-i madwifi
Apt-get update: reconfigures apt-get integrating any changes in the sources.list file, not really necessary unless you actually change it.
m-a prepare: brings up a menu system where one can change settings for module-assistant... the help file really didn't specify what one should do with this. I guessed and told it to make a few configurations, it threw an error and I moved on. really don't know the point in this step.
m-a a-i madwifi: this is where the magic happens. a-i is shorthand for Auto-Install. it does the whole process (get, build & install.)
Post Installation Configuration:
By now the modules should be installed in the correct locations, and module dependencies updated. and so it should be a matter of loading the correct module.
#modprobe ath_pci
In Syslog or the output of dmesg you should see something similar to the following message for successful installation of the madwifi modules
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10

Most up-to-date systems will load this module automatically at boot time via the hotplug mechanism, if not you can make sure it is loaded by adding it to the /etc/modules list.
# echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules
I attempted to install madwifi from source because of my initial issues getting apt-get to see the madwifi-source package. I kept hitting a wall where it would say
