Bug Description
On installation my Atheros wifi card was detected fine. But when doing dhcp
autoconfiguration it failed. I then tried to set it up with a static ip but that
didn't work either. And after the install my card did not show up in the Network
Settings under Gnome, only the eth0 card did. But it is identified in the device
manager as "AR5212 802.11abg NIC". I had this card working under Mandrake, the
only thing I had to do was set the EESID and the Gateway. I am using the newest
Hoary release from
ftp://cdimage.
I also tried the Warty release but it failed there too and so did the xserver,
so I didn't go very far with that. I saw that someone else had something similar
in which they needed to run dhclient so I tried that but it doesn't even try
using ath0, only eth0 and sit0. Let me know if you need any more info.
Forget the static ip attempt. I didn't disable dhcp on the router. I can try
this, but I'd prefer to get dhcp working. I tried reinstalling and it gave me
the choice of using eth0 or ath0 (same as before), but this time after dhcp
failed I just skipped the networking. After the install I went to check Network
settings, again my wireless card was not there. Do I need to file a seperate bug
for the loss of the Atheros card? I'll try to see if I can get the system to
detect it.
