Hi,

I do have the Netgear WG311t PCI wireless card. It has an Atheros chip inside.

Code:
# lspci | grep -i Atheros
Quote:
05:04.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)


I tried to follow this wiki: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Atheros_Wifi_Card_/_MadWifi_Install
I am running gentoo-sources 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 on a x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
I do not use genkernel. I tried to set the kernel up like written here: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/KernelConfig I did not find anything to do with hamradio in my kernel.
Code:
#dmesg | grep ath_pci
shows me as follows:

In the menuconfig mode look under

Networking -> Wireless
and
Device Drivers -> Network device support -> Wireless Lan.

You cant find the old stuff as it has been renamed.
