[HardyHeron] Atheros AR5BXB63 not working with madwifi

ugh yeah if you join #madwifi the'll let you know the problem and show you the ticket/patch i also have this device

once I downloaded the source and patched it i just... well put it on my usb drive still have to recompile it with each kernel update
I'm also on HardyHeroin you can checkout my tarball or search/ask around madwifi for the speciffics on this device from what i heard
they wont be including the patch to the main release for one reason or another

but anyway heres my driver backup http://hst.ath.cx/madwifi

also note the patch only works with x86 not 64

Thanks.
I have it working with ndiswrapper. Maybe I will give it another shot
with the patch.
Cheers

can you try an ibex live cd?

I have
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

I had problems with hardy, but ibex uses the new ath5k drivers, and it has worked fine* for me

[*] ath5k currently does not support being an ap, but most people don't want that. - there are patches,.

if ibex doesnt recognize this card, please try this, it worked for me https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/madwifi-tools/+bug/242080

I have a post about this problem, in this case, how to fix it using a special build from madwifi:

I agree because it is too old.
