Atheros ar5001x+ no wlan0 adapter

since the ath5k driver is already part of the kernel i just popped in the card in my dell d410 and used mod probe on the system to start ath5k. i removed the old ipw2200 drivers to prevent conflicts and followed the wiki and blacklisted all the modules it stated in my modprobe.conf however the comment in the file indicates its for kernel 2.6. i am guessing the wireless antenna wires do not have a specific order on the card but last night with them connected different i had the interface intermittently and when i tried to connect to it the pc would lock up.
also i cannot post logs from the machine as i have no ethernet connection available to get it online at the moment. what else cal i try with this? should i download the madwifi package on another system and locally install it?
i do notice this error when booting:
ath5k phy0: failed to wakeup the MAC chip
lspci still does display my card however i just get no wlan0 interface.
my wifi led is on but my wireless toggle (fn+f2) does not change this fact. when it was working my bluetooth led lights up and shows the wifi activity not the wifi led itself.

Hi all,
I can and do relate to your problem! I had the same troubles more than once with my A75-S209. Numerous calls to support only resulted in " you'll have to send it to the depot for repair", untill I finally got to level 3 support. There it was stated that my wireless card was bad, and I would have to send in my machine to get it repaired.
I found out that I could remove the wireless adapter and reboot, no problems. (This was after I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled the "factory fresh" disk image the first time this problem appeared. Also installed driver and client update. No luck there, it happened again.)
I noticed that during the freeze-up on my machine that the task manager was reporting around 63% processor use. This sounded to me like a driver issue or a conflict with system resources. I have since found out that by setting the "noexecute=" switch in the boot.ini file from "optin" to "noexecute" that the same error, if reported, no longer locks up the machine.
I also noticed that this problem seemed to occur whenever ANY changes were made to Any drivers on my system. I uninstalled the wireless driver in safe mode, then rebooted normally after making the boot.ini changes and allowed the system to reinstall the drivers to the wireless card. So far, no problems. It seems that the wireless driver wants to be the last to be installed.
Hope maybe this helps others out there to solve their problems as well, I have noticed numerous posts elsewhere where the same error is reported.
have a lovely day.

Enable monitor/promiscuous mode on Cisco Atheros AR5001X+

I have a Cisco Aironet Atheros AR5001X+ wireless card installed on an HP laptop running Ubuntu 8.10. The card is working and I would like to know how to enable monitor/promiscuous mode on it so that I can use wireshark to capture network traffic at work. I would also like to know if I can enable the card in monitor/promiscuous mode in Windows XP and how? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

Hello there,
I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
TL;DR:
However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
"The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
"athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
"oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors. I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
Thank you for the help!
EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
EDIT2:
The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

[SOLVED] Connection problems on Atheros AR5001X+

Hi all. I've been having trouble with my internet connection. I think it happened after the last kernel upgrade.
I am using wicd and starting it with X. When I log in I get no connection at all and a message saying "No wireless networks found".
Rescanning makes no difference.
The weird part is that connecting the cable gives me an entry for the wired network and rescanning makes all available wireless networks appear as they should.
I connect to my wireless network and then disconnect the cable and then everything is fine.
Usually anyways. Sometimes I get a "bad password" error.
Everything worked perfectly until a couple of days ago and I would like to avoid a kernel downgrade, since I've never done that before.
Another weird thing is that if I just connect my ethernet cable it doesn't connect automatically, even though that worked even before I installed X and wicd.
I've read this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115136, but it didn't help much.

What I have tried: Using my normal ip instead of static, starting dhcpcd on boot as a daemon, using netcfg instead of wicd.
When I run this
wpa_supplicant -B -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
I get disconnected from the network.
And when I when I run this
dhcpcd wlan0
I get a timeout error.
That's all the info I can think of right now. And the router is probably fine cause my windows partition and a macbook don't seem to be affected.

How can I turn on the mini-PCI WiFi card on Satellite 1905-S301?

greetz! I have installed an optional mini-PCI wireless LAN card into my Toshiba Satellite 1905-s301 notebook and turned on its power switch. MS WXP Pro SP2 recognized the hardware and installed its drivers - there is no cross or question mark next to the Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter in the Device Manager. However the Wireless Network Connection Manager is telling me there is no wireless adapter present. When hitting Fn+F8 a window pops up saying There is no build-in wireless LAN.
What do I need to do to enable my optional wireless LAN mini-PCI card??? If possible, email your suggestions to my email, please!

Hi
You have to enable the WLan switch at the notebook side!!!
Additional select the WLan card properties and check the Advanced tab.
There should be an option called Radio on/off. You have to set it to on.
greetings

Eth0 fails after installing and operating ath0 using ath_pci

Hi everyone, thank you for taking a look at my problem here.
I'm operating on an older IBM Thinkpad A22M. When I first install ArchLinux, eth0 works fine. I can dhcpcd into my network and browse the internet without a problem. Once I add this WG511T PCMCIA card, and attempt to connect with it, eth0 fails and nothing I can do will bring it back.
I am operating no network managers and I do not do
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
before doing anything at all with the ath0.
ifconfig -a

Of course, taking down eth0 and then bringing it back up does not work. I have already made sure that the ethernet cable and the router both work by plugging in another PC. I've looked at just about everything I could find to figure out what would cause this kind of issue, but I have found little in answers.
Again, thanks for taking a look. If you have any useful resources or reads or an explanation as to what I'm doing wrong, I would take them gratefully.

What are you using to connect to the network itself? IE netcfg2, wicd, knetworkmanager... ?
Try using either the "mii" or "ethtool" application to gain some info perhaps? I've used ethtool to re-connect seemingly dead connections. Some people find the "dhcpcd" client to be a pain and quirky with their hardware, so often I see others recommend using "dhclient" instead. Give that a try perhaps, and check the netcfg2 page on the arch wiki for troubleshooting ideas if you have time.
Stupid question but what is the Irda port used for in your case? I know its infrared but I've never seen that port actually used for something even on the Thinkpad line of lappys, where its most commonly found. Maybe its conflicting somehow?

Are you running any of Symantec's (Norton) or McAfee's Internet security products or anything similar, or an antivirus/antispyware application? There have been reports that some such utilities treat an upgrade to iTunes as a new application and can block the application from connecting. So you have to go in and reset the utility to allow iTunes. The same thing can happen if you upgrade the security product (this has particularly been a problem with recent McAfee upgrades).
Check the settings for your utility. If iTunes is still listed, remove and re-enable the exception for iTunes. Consult your utility's documentation for the appropriate procedure; you can find instructions for Norton on Norton's web page for iTunes. You may also need to check the built-in Windows firewall as well.
Hope this helps.

Trident video problems

This is my first post in the magnificent Arch forum and I'll try to describe my problem.
After pacman -Syu I get this error:
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: trident-dri: requires libgl=7.6.1
My local installed version for trident-dri is 7.6.1, libgl - the same. There is a new version for libgl - 7.7.1, but no corresponding trident-dri.
Another problem with the trident driver since updating to Xorg 1.7 - too slow video playback - 100% CPU load, choppy video. I don't know whether it's a distro specific problem or driver problem. I post a bug here:

Aside from these problems my Arch experience is superb (I also have minor problem mounting CDs, but no big deal)

i finished all the upgrades and restarted and all seems right, i don't have video problems, with only 1Ghz centrino and with a trident video card.
with the "hwd -s" command i have this output:

Equium L40-10X: Atheros AR5007EG Adapter firmware upgrade

Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the firmware on the Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter to be able to use WPA encryption as WEP is weak and easy to break?

Hi, i have a L40-100 with ar5007eg. This is not a chipset issue cause the Atheros site saids that AR5007eg SUPPORTS TKIP, AES, etc... and TKIP and AES are a part from WPA1 et WPA 2.
My Vista laptop worked for one month without problems with WPA/TKIP. No it's another game!!...the WiFi didn't see the access points, when they are seen it couldn't connect...and so one.
After many searchs i've found out that's a VISTA problem. Certainly after an upgrade.
But i'm interested by sharing that experience with other people.

Satellite a60 atheros ar5004g wireless adapter code 10 cannot start

i have a satellite a60 s-156 with with a atheros ar5004g wireless network adapter..when i upgraded the driver code 10 appearaed in device manager, i rolled back to the old driver, to the same results.
i then performed a fresh install with the recovery dvd, with the same disappointing results.
when i purchased the laptop the only software i received was the restore dvd.
i have downloaded other drivers, with the same results.
any suggestions, by the way the wifi turn on light is a orangish color.....thank you

Hi
Well, if after the recover procedure the card can not be recognized so I assume that the card has a fault. In this case you should ask the service partner for a help.
Best regards

Stuck interrupt when scanning for wireless networks (Athero chipset)

I'm working on getting wireless running on my Thinkpad T40 with an Atheros AR5211 a/b adapter. The ath5k module loads automatically, and the dmesg output seems to indicate that it is properly detecting the card:
% dmesg|grep ath
[ 4.767272] ath5k 0000:02:02.0: registered as 'phy0'
[ 5.042780] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x61
[ 5.042787] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map
[ 5.042793] ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00
[ 5.042796] ath: Regpair used: 0x61
[ 5.478542] ath5k: phy0: Atheros AR5211 chip found (MAC: 0x42, PHY: 0x30)

[ 5.478553] ath5k: phy0: RF2111 2GHz radio found (0x23)
I brought the interface up using ip:
% ip link show wlan0
4: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether [redacted] brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The trouble comes when I try to scan for wireless networks. I run "sudo iw dev wlan0 scan". At this point, the system becomes very sluggish, and the load average began to monotonically increase. The scan never completes; I left it for 15-20 minutes and cut it off when the load passed 3.5. The load average did not go down after iw was killed. Checking in top, the CPU was pretty evenly split between a kworker process and ksoftirqd, even with the scan terminated.
I've searched around, and while there are all manner of problems reported with getting various wireless configurations to work, no one seems to get tripped up at the scanning phase like this. Does anyone know of diagnostics I could try (or perhaps other scan tools?) to narrow down what is actually causing the CPU to get hammered?

I got a chance to play around with this a bit more, trying wireless_tools this time:
% sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable
As before, the load average then continues to increase until the system becomes unusable. This would lead me to believe that I have a driver or kernel issue, since that would be the commonality between the two tools.
The other interesting output is this:
% dmesg|tail
[ 280.973316] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now
[ 280.989985] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now

[ 281.094544] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now
[ 281.109122] ath5k: phy0: too many interrupts, giving up for now
Looking at longer tails, this message repeats many many times, interspersed with:
net_ratelimit: 321 callbacks suppressed
With various values for 321. Some interrupt getting stuck would make sense for why the load average blows up, but I really don't know how to fix that ...
I verified on the ath5k site (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri … rted_Chips) that my chip is supported:
% lspci
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR5211 Wireless Network Adapter [AR5001X 802.11ab] (rev 01)
Any tips for what might cause a stuck interrupt like that?

Atheros AR5001+ and Intel 3945/ABG [Golan] #2

Hello, everyone, I am trying to connect two network cards, an Atheros AR5001X + and an Intel 3945/ABG in Ad-Hoc mode, the cards are associated (apparently) but a machine does not ping and do not surf!
It is true that I have to use a different Broadcast for both wired and wireless?
I follow this steps on atheros(internet):
iwconfig ath0 mode ad-hoc essid "Wireless_Network"
ifconfig ath0 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
And Intel:
iwconfig wlan0 mode ad-hoc essid "Wireless_Network"
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
My modules is ath_pci(i tested ath5k too) and iwl3945.
And my Internet is HSDPA USB Modem(ZTE MF622).
Thanks in advance.

Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop

Windows 7 will not detect the wireless adapter on my Dell D610 laptop
Any workaround?

hey guys.... i believe i have some light for you all. I gave my daughter a D610 which came pre-installed with Linux (ubuntu). She did not like it so i loaded windows 7 and guess what? no wifi.
Unknown Device listed on device manager. to make the story short, after almost returning the laptop and spending 2 days looking for drivers everywhere I decided to reload Ubuntu because the wifi always worked. Then going a little deeper inside linux hardware
specs I listed all the hardware using the command lshw from linux shell and what shows up as wifi interface? Atheros AR5001x.
Problem was almost solved. The adventure now was find the driver for Atheros AR5001x that worked for windows 7. And now just to finish this story even faster, the diver is xp32-5.1.1.9.
Unfortunately after downloading the driver I did not save the website. I have the file with me if you need.
Just send me a message and i will be more than happy to email it to you.
Happy New Year for all!!!!

Wireless adapter is not working.

My WiFi is not working, please help me. For tree days I’m trying to turn on wireless adapter.
In Programs and Features I have Atheros 802.11 showing. But in Device Manager it is not showing up. On switch Fn+10 is going on but the control lamp is not going on. I have reinstalled the driver Atheros_WLAN 8.0.0.196. I tried even Atheros AR928x Wireless Network Adapter, but it is not working. I upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium, reset to original factory state, to Win 7 Starter. Now I again upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium. Nothing helped.
I'm hoping you can help me out.
Peter.

You could try a couple of simple things that might help:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and disconnect attached devices.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.  You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Satellite A200: Slow WLAN speed with Atheros AR5007EG

Hi there,
I recently bought an Satellite A200 with an Atheros 5007eg wireless lan adapter. I am using Vista. And i'm using a d-link router.
My problem is the following:
Somehow, when I download it only produces 1/4th of the speed I get when i connect it directly to my modem... Ive tried downloading new drivers, but no help there.
Can someone help me pls? I already talked to toshiba NL, they told me to send it to them, they had it for three weeks and then sent it back without doing anything.

As far as I know an BIOS and the Atheros driver update should clear this issue.
A friend of mine has the same notebook and he has updated the both mentioned thing and it works great.
The BIOS update you will find on the Toshiba European driver page and the Atheros WLan driver here:
