For command line, there's "iwlist name-of-interface-like-wlan0-for-example scan". I think networkmanager might provide an interface.
I'm sorry I didn't notice that you had replied. The link gives me a 404. The .inf file's name is probably similar to the name of your .sys or .cat file. Try "*5211*inf", for example. |

As was previously written, Atheros AR5007EG cards are sometime erroneously reported by lspci as AR5006EG. You have to reboot in Windows to know what is your real card. If you have a real AR5006EG, you might try madwifi-ng drivers with madwifi-ng-tools utilities version 0.9.3.3 to create your ath0 interface: | Code: | | wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta |
See other posts on this topic to have a tutorial. This is likely to work.
On the other hand, if you have an AR5007EG card, there are presently no working drivers yet. Madwifi team has been waiting for an Atheros HAL for more than 8 months. Without it, they cannot provide us with a correct driver. They are now working on an ath5k driver to try to solve the problem, but it is still in progress with no announced deadlines. Hence, the only present solution is using ndiswrapper with a 64-bit Windows XP driver if you use a 64-bit kernel. Do not try with a Vista driver because some people reported problems with them.
The first thing to do is to know which wifi card you actually have in your computer. Reboot in Windows if you have a dual boot to have the answer. If it is not possible, type "your_computer_name your_computer_model AR5007EG" in google to see if this triggers pages explaining that your computer has the AR5007EG card despite an erroneous claim of lspci. Then, go on http://www.atheros.cz/ and bring back the right XP driver and run ndiswrapper -i right_file to create your driver. For example, I have an Acer 7520G which has an AR5007EG card, and it works well with ndiswrapper using the 64-bit XP driver downloaded from the web page. I used ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf to create a working wlan0 interface. Good luck,
pit

This thread has been really helpful. I have a Fujitsu Esprimo Mobile V5535 and I have been trying to configure my atheros card. I have been unable to use the madwifi driver, but I have got the wireless working with ndiswrapper. Thanks a lot!

UPDATE: I have been able to get the atheros card with the madwifi drivers using a patched snapshot (madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz), install/make install, and followed the FirstTimeHowTo. The discussion on this patch (only works with x86-32) can be followed in the following madwifi ticket. |
