Subject: Athros wireless stopped working
Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:57:28 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1267577848.19553.12.camel@localhost> (raw)
The athros chip in my Fujitsu notebook as stopped working after an
update (Debian squeeze) about a month ago. It uses the ath5k driver.
uname -a returns Linux WideBook 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jan 10
22:40:40 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
It appears that iwconfig can't set the essid and the password reliably.
When I issue iwconfig ath0 I usually get garbage in the essid and
password fields. This can be after setting both (with iwconfig)
apparently successfully.
This notebook is dual boot so I know that the hardware is working.
I have put some debug output in the wireless-tools script in if-pre-up.d
so that I can see that the essid and password fields seem to 'take' for
a short time, then revert to garbage.
Does any of this sound familiar? Is this a known problem?
Regards,
Jim Ham
