AR5523 Support

AR5523 Support

[kasi viswanathan]

hi,
   i am having an Atheros AR5523 usb wireless card.when i connect it to my
machine, device is getting recognized and i am able to see the vendor and
device ids using 'lsusb'.

but when i issue 'iwconfig' i am not able to see any wireless interfaces.

any help and pointers will be useful.

if there is no support as of now i am willing to contribute to the driver
development.

Thanks.

Did you honestly google for "linux ar5523" ?

I did the work for you and found  
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ar5523


However, I fear this might be a dead project, I haven't heard 
anything about this in recent times.
