Hello,
I need some help getting my wireless card to work. I have a Netgear WPN311 which uses the Atheros 5001x+ chip, according to lspci. As far as I know there is no native linux driver for this card, but some site say that the ath5k driver should work. The driver loads, recognizes the card (but as a AR2414 chip), but iwlist scanning says no results and when i try to connect to my network it just says ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0:link is not ready.
So next I wanted to try the windows driver with ndiswrapper, but ndiswrapper won't compile, because some errors in iw_ndis.c. I know that the included patch should resolve these problems, but i have tried a few patches and none of them worked.
So as my last resort i wanted to try madwifi, but it won't compile either with the error that it can't find linux/utsrelease.h.
My System: CRUX 2.7 Kernel 2.6.37
The madwifi driver will work.
