|  | Posted: Feb. 08 2007,22:31 |  |  I ever want to get familiar with linux and so i start a hd-install (syslinux via current bootdisk) on my good old toshiba satellite pro cdt480!
 
 The last two days I've read on several boards and learned a lot, but I can't find an answer for my problem!
 
 The Win-Driver (net5211.inf), which came with the card told me, that it should be an Atheros-Card:
 
 | Code Sample |  | [Version]
 Signature   = "$CHICAGO$"
 Class       = Net
 ClassGUID   = {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
 Provider    = %ATHEROS%
 Compatible  = 1
 DriverVer   = 03/23/2005,3.3.2.15
 Catalogfile = net5211.cat
 
 [Manufacturer]
 %ATHEROS%     = Atheros
 
 ...
 
 ATHER.DeviceDesc.0013        = "Gigaset PC Card 54"
 ATHER.DeviceDesc108.0013     = "Gigaset PC Card 108"
 ATHER.DeviceDesc.1041        = "Gigaset PC Card 54"
 SIEMENS.DeviceDesc.1041      = "Gigaset PC Card 54"

 If I believe what I've read in many topcs so should this Card be supported by madwifi, which is included in dsl.
 
 But dmesg shows following messages (with or without pci=biosirq):
 
 | Code Sample |  | <4>PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:02.0.
 <4>PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:02.1.
 <4>PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 14:02.1.
 <4>PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 14:02.1.
 <4> wifi %d: request_irq failed

 iwconfig shows only:
 
 | Code Sample |  | lo       no wireless extensions

 lspci -vv:

 My first trials with ndiswrapper (because siemens gigaset pc card 108 is not listet in "Verified Wireless Cards")
 didn't really work too, even if "ndiswrapper -l" told me:
 "driver installed, hardware present"! After "modporbe ndiswrapper" the power led went from blinking to lit constantly. But no device wlan0 was found!!!
 
 May be the same reason in both cases i think, but what can Ido? I would be glad if someone give me a solution for the problem!
 
 Many thanks in advance!
