Re: [ath5k-users] (Getting back to) Need some help
So you don't see anything that would prevent it from associating with an AP? Any suggestions on how to find out why it won't associate? Looks like iwconfig doesn't have any verbose options. jhhaynes at earthlink dot net ___ ath5k-users mailing list ath5k-users@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-users

Turn off power saving, it may be a problem: iwconfig wlan0 power off Using essid "any" doesn't appear to work with ath5k. Use the explicit essid: iwconfig wlan0 essid ESSID Try using iw, which is a newer tool. It has an explicit command to connect to an AP with the given ESSID: iw dev wlan0 connect ESSID See kernel messages using the dmesg command. If the signal is bad, you'll see messages about failed association. The last resort would be to run another wireless interface in the monitor mode and capture the packets exchanged between the station and the AP. That would show what is not working right. If you have any further questions, please post the commands you are running. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ ath5k-users mailing list ath5k-users@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-users
[ath5k-users] revisiting an old problem
Hi All, I just read that the current mailing list will be closed, so I thought that I give another try on fixing my wireless on my laptop. The problem is, that it sees all the available routers / whatever, but I am unable to connect to them. It makes no difference whether it is encrypted or not. I have tried Networkmanager, wicd, and manual configuration, but the connection doesn't start. I am running archlinux. Some additional data: uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 23 19:43:46 CET 2010 x86_64 Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux lspci | grep Ath 05:03.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

Please make sure that you are not trying to connect to access points that use WEP or WPA without setting the key or using wpa_supplicant. Please make sure that setting ESSID is the last command, as it triggers association. You may want to use the current MadWifi trunk to see if the problem has anything to do with ath5k. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin ___ ath5k-users mailing list ath5k-users@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-users
