This is a 2424 pci-express card, we don't support this chip yet ;-(

(damn i thought that was only the pci express version of 5414 that we
just fixed, seems there's more to do)

Hmm it seems that 5424/2424 and later chips have a different reset
sequence we are not aware of. We 'll need traces to make it work, if
you have some time plz take a look here ->
http://madwifi.org/wiki/DevDocs/MadwifiTrace (the testbed stuff would
really help)


Thanx for the feedback ;-)

Don't be fooled by the PCI ID - we already know that these are not
reliable to identify the chipset used on a Atheros-based card. See also
http://madwifi.org/ticket/1192.

I'd suggest Majo to use ath_info from MadWifi trunk, hopefully it allows
to recognize the chipset more reliably in his case, too. The ticket
mentioned above also has some instructions on how to use this tool.

> (the testbed stuff would really help)

Working on it, but it's still a long road. Getting non-profit status is
just the first step for that, and that's work in progress.

Bye, Mike

Hmm you might be right about this, ath_info would really help. Problem
is we din't have such reports about nic_wakeup before, not even on
2425 (AR5007EG). In all cases (except 5416/5418) at least attach
worked ! In this case attach doesn't work at all ;-(

This might be the new 2417 chip (AR5007G), if they had faulty pci id
for 5007EG they might have done the same for 5007G (but 2417 is not
pci-express !).

Majo can you plz do what Mike said and give us a dump of ath_info tool ?

Thanx in advance...

While I was working with Windows XP Embedded (after a long 
absence from Windows), I noticed that they don't just work with 
PCI IDs, but also with PCI-Subsystem IDs.

$ lspci -vn
03:00.0 0200: 168c:0013 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 1186:3a12
        ...

If vendors would make the subsystem ID wrong, then even Windows 
XP wouldn't be able to detect the card correctly. That's quite a 
big incentive to get that number right :-)

Hmm, I also notices that in ticket 1192, neither the output
of "lspci" nor "lshw" doesn't even output the subsystem ID. The
MODULE_ALIAS() syntax doesn't seem to have a way to specify
subsystem IDs.

I have two Atheros based cards here, one is a D-Link DWL-G650,
one a Proxim 8470-WD. Both have the PCI ID 168C:0013. The
D-Link has the subsystem ID 1186:3a12, the Proxim has 14b7:0a40.

The driver for the Proxim card contains an INF file, which has
this section:

[Vendor]
; DisplayName               Section             DeviceID
; -----------               -------             --------
%LEX.DeviceDesc.CB22ag_G%   = LEX_CB22ag_01,    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_0A1014B7
%LEX.DeviceDesc.CB22ag_S%   = LEX_CB22ag_02,    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_AA1014B7
%LEX.DeviceDesc.CB22ab_G%   = LEX_CB22ab_01,    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0012&SUBSYS_0A001B47
%LEX.DeviceDesc.CB22ab_S%   = LEX_CB22ab_02,    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0012&SUBSYS_AA001B47
%LEX.DeviceDesc.CB22ab_A%   = LEX_CB22ab_03,    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0012&SUBSYS_1A001B47
%LEX.DeviceDesc.CB22g_G%    = LEX_CB22g_01,     PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_0A4014B7
%LEX.DeviceDesc.CB22g_S%    = LEX_CB22g_02,     PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_AA4014B7
%LEX.DeviceDesc.MB22ag%     = LEX_MB22ag_01,    PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_0A6014B7
%LEX.DeviceDesc.ORiNOCO%    = LEX_ORiNOCO,      PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0013&SUBSYS_04101467

And, as it turns out, the driver for the Proxim card doesn't
recognize the D-Link card, because it looks not only at the
PCI-ID, but also at the subsystem ID.

It would be interesting to get a list of the subsystem IDs of
misdetected atheros-based WLAN cards.

HI,

here are some Traces.

I dowloadet hte new snv from:

svn co http://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/branches/madwifi-trace

make

sudo make install

Then i run the trase script from

svn co http://svn.madwifi.org/tools/trace

The Result is in Attachement.

I hope this can help you.

Majo
