 |
|
I have a netgear wg311 wirelesscard with an atheros chip. I installed madwifi-driver to use it.
After setting my essid by
| Code: |
iwconfig ath0 essid netz1
|
iwconfig says

Io no wireless axtensions.
ath0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"netz1"
.... Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
....
|
and ifconfig does not say anything about ath0
So why can it not find my accespoint?
When I type lsmod it says

Module Size Used by
...................
ath_pci 52640 0
ath_rate_onoe 6984 1 ath_pci
wlan 107804 3 ath_pci,ath_rate_onoe
ath_hal 131600 ath_pci
|
I am wondering about the "0" at ath_pci, does it mean that this module is not in use? |

| Did you reconfigured your kernel to support wireless extensions? |

Yes, I think so.
I looked at some further threads and found this:
After doing this my wlan-card runs.
But internet is very slow. It takes about 20 secounds untill loading of a page begins. Downloading files after starting is very fast. I set the gateway and the dns-server to the ip of my router, this always worked under WinXp and Suse. Acces to servers on Lan is at normal speed.
Is it possible that I have to disable ipv6?
If I restart my computer I always have to set my essid again, although I put it to /etc/conf.d/wireless. |
