According to www.dlink.com, a DWL-G650 that has a hardware version of
"B5" is a "G650B". I went to their site, and looked up the G650 for a
firmware upgrade, and I found that there is a G650A, G650B, and even
G650C.
man 4 ath states:
HARDWARE
Devices supported by the ath driver come in either CardBus or Mini PCI
packages. Wireless cards in CardBus slots may be inserted and ejected on
the fly.
The following cards are among those supported by the ath driver:
Card Chip Bus Standard
D-Link DWL-G520 AR5212 PCI b/g
D-Link DWL-G650B AR5212 CardBus b/g
The DWL-G520 that I bought for my workstation is also on this list...
Did I just waste money buying it expecting it to work? or will there
be support in the future?
I'm the first person to admit when I'm wrong, but I didn't buy the
wrong card. I didn't setup the card correctly to allow access to the
network.
I just need to know what necessary fields have to be filled in to
allow access to an unencrypted network. I setup the hostname.ath0
file and did everything the ath man file specified, but I am still
unable to get on the network
