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> wifi %d: request_irq failed

iwconfig shows only:

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!
