ifconfig ath0 ?
what's showing up in dmesg dealing with detection when that atheros (madwifi?) driver gets insmodded?

For me I solved this problem by turning on the switch for wireless on my laptop and then reloading module ath_pci. The light was always on so I assumed it was already on, apparently, that wasn't true.
My problem is my wireless config is not working right on boot. I have to type "ifconfig ath0 up" or else in the end, dhcpcd ath0 up won't work in the end.

So there's absolutely no indication of atheros driver and ath0 in your dmesg?
starting to smell like the driver doesn't know about your card...odd...

That's not possible if you have ath_pci loaded. Just paste the whole output. |

Did you make a symbolic link to net.lo in /etc/init.d ?
If not, try it:
| Code: | | #ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.ath0 |
And paste your /etc/conf.d/net please. |

There isn't an ath0 for the net script to work with. Please read before posting.. |

I found that the order of module loading was important. Try loading ath_pci last. That is, after all other wlan and ath modules that you want. Don't worry about hal, it is a dependancy. I'll post my order when I next get a chance if you still need help.
EDIT: Here is the order I have mine in. Kernel 2.6.22-r5
tux ~ # cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots.
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and
# are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details.
# For example:
# aic7xxx
snd
snd-pcm
snd-seq
snd-seq-device
snd-seq-oss
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss
snd-ens1371
#for the wireless
ath-rate-sample
wlan-scan-sta
wlan-ccmp
ath-pci
#EOF

| You're supposed to run ndiswrapper like that on an .inf file, with any other files the inf came with (like maybe that .sys file) in the same directory. |

okay i got some of the same problem with my Atheros card.
lspci gives: 05:08.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) and that is a netgear wpn311
i got ath_pci loaded with modprobe and it dose not giv me a error.
I know one that has the exact same card and it works, the only diffrens we found was that he was using gentoo-sources 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 and i was using r7
what can the problem be? If anyone wanna have more info (dmesg etc.) then please say so. i got this card to make a wireless access point so i like to get this to work.

Try one from here: http://www.atheros.cz/
Somebody linked there in a madwifi ticket. I'm using one from that site and it seems to be working perfectly, but that's as far as I can vouch for that site's trustworthiness. For all I know they could've been tampered with, so beware.
If you have Windows installed, you can probably find the driver in WINDOWS/system32, probably named "net5211.*" or somthing like that. |

i got only that
isaac@h4x0r /windows/c/WINDOWS/system32 $ find -name *5211.*
./drivers/ar5211.sys
isaac@h4x0r /windows/c/WINDOWS/system32 $
that is only sys file...
