miniPCI - Alfa AWPCI085HUminiPCI 500mW, Atheros AR5414

[DuckD]

Koupil jsem kartu, jedinou s Atheros čipem, která byla možná objednat z krámu.
1) Karta nachází signál (slabší), ale nedokáže se připojit (zkoušeno s více AP).
Zkoušel jsem Intrepid Ibex i kompilovat madwifi, vždy ten samý výsledek.
2) Další problém je, že se karta hlásí jinak.
U prodejce je to: Alfa AWPCI085HUminiPCI 500mW, Atheros AR5414
lspci: AR5413
hwinfo: AR5006X ( AR5006XS = (AR5414) )
dmesg: Atheros 5212

Jakou jinou wifi miniPCI tedy vybrat aby fungovala bez problémů a měla pořádný signál?
Nebo nejít do Atheros čipu? Jaký jiný?

Doopravdy nikdo neví co s tím?
Se sprovozňováním HW pod Tuxama nemam žádné zkušenosti.
No a když nic nepomůže, co mam koupit za kartu s nějakým silným Atheros čipem co funguje bez problémů?
Tato karta holt půjde do kytek.

[Fracty]

zkuste jí nahodit ručně a na chvilku jí vypnout od NM a připojit se na AP bez šifrování ručně;)

[DuckD]

Fracty: Vyzkoušel jsem to (snad dobře), ale bez úspěchu.

1) Vypnul jsem v Network-manageru (enable wireless, enable networking)
2) Zapnul jsem wifi:
ifconfig ath0 up
3) Nastavil AP:
iwconfig ath0 ap 00:4F:62:0E:53:CD
4) Zakázal jsem šifrování:
iwconfig ath0 key off
5) Pokus o líznutí IP
dhclient ath0

Dělam něco špatně? Je ještě nějaká rada pro mě? Co dál?

Pokud wifi, tak neco s timto..
Chipset RT2561 (nativní podpora pod Linux Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron)
http://www.alza.cz/edimax-ew-7128g-pci-karta-pro-wifi-w-lan-802-11b-g-11-54mbps-d46401.htm
Nemusi to byt presne ta sama karta, ale chipset Realtek RT2500 a zrejme i vyssi v Ubuntu funguje uz z jadra..
Jeste bych dodal, ze jsem rozchodil BCM4316, Intel a Realtek fungovaly hned z live cd, ale Atheros jsem nemel zadnej, takze bych do neho asi nesel a sel do osvedcenych chipsetu vyse..

[DuckD]

Potřebuju miniPCI s opravdu silným signálem (prý jedině Atheros).
Jenže mě správně nefunguje.
Poradil by mě ještě někdo co s tím dál pls?

[Petr Merlin Vaněček]

Ještě bych zkusil napevno nastavit kanál.

Jo mimochodem, docela rád používám miniPCI od Orinoco (agere)

[DuckD]

Nastavení kanálu nepomohlo...
Nejradši bych bral nějakou silnou Atherosku která nemá problém s madwifi
