Okay, under 3.2 I had this card and from my memory, I used wlanconfig (all worked well) and then lwconfig and typed in ath0, the channel, and my ssid. Now, that does not work, and when I typed "ath0" in the field, it just goes back to eth0. I eventually just clicked prism2 and put the info in there. It "went away" with no "connected!" pop up, but I do have a connection to the internet now. Oddly, no network statistics show up in torsmo, or with any app that shows traffic (says I don't have a connection). When I boot, my saved settings cause the system to hang with some errors. But I do have a connection.myiwconfig looks like this #!/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/iwconfig.sh ath0 11 linksys 2>&1 >/dev/null myprism2 looks like this #!/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/prism2.sh ath0 11 "" 2>&1 >/dev/null my bootlocal looks like this with the /opt/myiwconfig.sh commented out because this is the only way I get a connection. If I comment out /opt/myprism2.sh, and leave /opt/myiwconfig.sh. I get no hanging, but no internet connection. #!/bin/bash # put other system startup command here # /opt/myiwconfig.sh /opt/myprism2.sh /opt/sound.sh loadkeys us Seriously, what the heck? The Linksys Atheros version 1.1 a/b/g card is supposed to work out of the box and not use prism2. Posted by lucky13 on June 23 2007,17:03
Not odd at all. Edit the lines below TEXT that count up/down eth0 to ath0. Posted by bwh1969 on June 24 2007,02:29
Thanks... you helped me iron some things out with DSL today that have been issues for quite some time. I even got rid of the prism2 issue (see this post) and got things working without the boot hang. Odd though that it did not connect when i first configured it even though mylwconfig in /opt looked okay. I just had to make the file execute, which I still think that when wlanconfig is activated, it should connect without doing this... as it used to under other DSL distros.
