[plug] Atheros Madwifi Kubuntu

[Chris Caston]

Hi again list,


After trying unsuccessfully to get the tp-link TL-WN610G working with
madwifi  
drivers I inserted a Sitecom WL-140 pcmcia card that appears to use the 
Prism54 chipset. 

dmesg gave me the following: 

pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 
yenta EnE: chaning testregister 0xC9, 04 -> 04 
Loaded prism54 driver, version 1.2 
PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) 
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 
pccard: card ejected from slot 0 
eth1: hot unplug detected

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 

and the following in /var/log/messages 

Feb 20 15:42:38 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] ->

Feb 20 15:57:43 localhost -- MARK -- 

if I run iwconfig I get the following: 

lo        no wireless extensions. 

eth0      no wireless extensions. 

sit0      no wireless extensions. 

Warning: Driver for device eth1 has been compiled with version 19 
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 18. 
Some things may be broken... 

iwconfig: symbol lookup error: iwconfig: undefined symbol: iw_sawap_ntop

I'd be happy to get either card working.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

regards,

Chris
