[ath9k-devel] support for AR9220

[ath9k-devel] support for AR9220

[Queenie de Melo]

Dear All,

Iam using kernel 2.6.27 due to cross-compile some reasons but when i use the
lastest ath9k, i get only the wlan0 interface.

I do not see my wifi0 interface. Why is that?? I read through the net and
found that maybe my device is not supported by the driver..

Is AR9220 chipset supported by ath9k driver? how can i verify that?

Please advice!

By default you won't get that , but I don't know is there any means to
get wifi0 , but you can configure things in wlan0 itself

Thanks Shafi.

Using wlan0, can i create a vap?
"*wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap*" would be the command
using wifi0 rite?

Can i use the same command (wlanconfig ath create wlandev wlan0 wlanmode
ap)OR is there a different one for configuring wlan0

Pl advice

It depends on your goal.  Here's what I've done in the past:

start hostapd on wlan0
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan1 mode sta
Associate wlan1 to Random access point
route wlan0 through wlan1

What are you trying to achieve?

wlanconfig is a madwifi specific tool.

It is definitely supported - I have an AR9220-based card in my Thinkpad 
41T. It basically "just works" (with some stability and regdomain 
problems left), using compat-wireless from 2-3 months ago.
