Hello,
I have an IBM wifi card that has an Atheros chipset that was working perfectly 
with the madwifi driver untill the update that happened recently, now it is a 
big mess.
When I plug it in or at boot if it is plugged in when coldplugging pnp devices 
I got somethig like:

if I try to connect I get:

  *     dhcp
  *       ath0 does not exist

in some cases I just get: failed to connect.
Checking a bit more, ath0 doesn't exist, and I can't even see it on lspci.

When I unplug it, I get a kernel panic.

I am loading the modules:
ath_hal
wlan
wlan_acl
wlan_ccmp
wlan_tkip
wlan_wep
wlan_xauth
ath_rate_amrr
ath_rate_onoe
ath_pci
at boot thru /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6.

Any ideas what is going on ? Am I doing something wrong ?

Thank you.

Which updates are you talking about- did you change kernels? Maybe you need to 
reemerge all the wifi and dhcpcd stuff.

I have a D-link Atheros based card, and here's what I do:

1. compile into the kernel all support items for wifi (not modules)

2. emerge all madwifi stuff (tools, driver), and dhcpcd

3. As root, type

iwconfig ath0

This brings up the config list, but no essid, and the address is all zeros.

then I type

 dhcpcd ath0

and it connects fine.

If I redo the iwconfig ath0 command, it now lists the essid name of my 
wireless router (linksys), and the numerical isp address dhcpcd found.

Hope this helps.

Robert Crawford

madwifi, it was updated some days ago, to be exact, version 0.1_pre20050809 
released on 2005/08/10 12:44:19, while previously I was using 
0.1_pre20050420.

No, I didn't change kernel (I am familiar with externas modules).

This is more or less what I used to do with the old driver that didn't cause 
kernel panics.

Thank you.

Sync up man.  You're supposed to downgrade to 20050420 now.  I was
having the same problem.

If downgrading to 20050420 doesn't work, try upgrading to the latest
baselayout.  An older baselayout triggers the problem for me.

Hmmmm.  I'm running ~x86 systems, and just synced yesterday, so I must be 
about as current as possible. I've had no problems with wifi.

UPDATE: Seems I'm still using  0.1_pre20050420, so apparently yesterday's ~x86 
sync and -uD world didn't pull in  0.1_pre20050809. 

Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 
2.6.12.3 i686)

I've had the same problem here; using a 3com OfficeConnect (3CXJK10075 I 
think). I've just rebuild my laptop and used 0.1_pre20050809 and it 
didn't work.

I tried different kernel settings, different versions of madwifi-driver 
and madwifi-tools, along with wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant. In the 
end I had to remove all the modules (rm -Rf /lib/modules) and reinstall 
all the modules before rebuilding wireless-tools, madwifi-driver, 
madwifi-tools in that order.

Thanks, that worked! (I haven't rebuild madwifi-tools though).

I the end I just didn't care! :) I rebuilt/remove/reinstalled anything 
that was associated with the wireless system. However, it seams that 
removing the modules is the major step, as anything user /lib/modules is 
governed by the configuration protection system and therefore nothing 
will be deleted/removed on a unmerge or clean.
