| Chip: | AR2413 (802.11b+g)
|
| URL: | http://www.atheros.com/pt/AR5005G.htm
|
| Supports: | IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
|
| Working: | Working perfectly as of 2008-12-30 on an Acer Aspire 5040. See this page for how to get it going:
|
| Working: | not working with version 0.9.2, dmesg reports: "unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13)"
|
| Notes: | Several tickets indicate this; no response was ever given. However, some users have reported success, but could not confirm this.
|
| Notes: | Works perfectly on Slackware 11 (kernel 2.6.18.3) and madwifi 0.9.2. Just modprobe ath_pci after compiling/installing. (this on an Acer 3102 wlmi)
|
| Notes: | For Kernel 2.6.22.1 use trunk version (madwifi 0.9.3.1 release doesn't compile): svn checkout http://madwifi-project.org/svn/madwifi/trunk madwifi. That works perfectly (I'm running Slackware 12 on Acer 3102wlmi).
|
| Notes: | SMC PCI card: OK for Slackware 12.1 (kernel 2.6.25.2), with madwifi-0.9.4
|
| Notes: | I can confirm that this chipset works great with the madwifi-ng drivers on Debian Testing. Also monitor mode.
|
| Notes: | chipset is AR1423, as you can see through URL
|
| Notes: | This chipset works on the Acer Aspire 5040 if you install the acer_acpi driver http://www.archernar.co.uk/acer_acpi/acer_acpi_main.html

|
| Notes: | Works on the Acer Aspire 5100 using madwifi source (Mandriva 2007.0/x86_64)
|
| Notes: | Cheap Ativa card works ok in gentoo. /etc/init.d/net.athx start does not ifconfig athx up the device, so preferred wireless won't work
|

| Notes: | Works on HP dv6730eg, openSuse 10.3 after installing http://www.pc-forum24.de/suse-treiber/7830-experimentelle-madwifi-pakete-fuer-karten-mit-ar2425-ar5007eg-chipsatz-nur-32-bit.html and kdenetworkmanager
|
| Notes: | Does work with HP dv9722eg (64Bit), see (#1192)
|
| Notes: | Works with Compaq Presario C700 (64Bit) using the enhancement to ticket 1679 (See above).
|
| Notes: | Works fine with ASUS F9Dc (AMD64) with the new branch (see #1192).
|
| Notes: | Works fine with Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo LI2727. However the card must first be turned on using a software switch as explained here, else it will not transmit or receive anything.
|
| Notes: | Works with Compaq Presario F767NR (AMD64 X2)--though somewhat poor reception compared to Windows drivers.
|
| Notes: | Works with Samsung e152-Aura T5750 Dajuan, activate radio with ledpin=0 softled=1

|
| Notes: | Works with madwifi 0.9.3 under Ubuntu Edgy on Samsung R20 laptop. Didn't try madwifi driver provided by Ubuntu (restricted-modules). To get DHCP working might be necessary to bring down other network interfaces (e.g. the LAN interface with following command for Ubuntu: "sudo ifdown eth0"). Ad-hoc Mode doesn't work for me at all.
|
| Notes: | I can confirm that this works out of the box in Ubuntu 8.04, however to let it connect via DHCP you need to switch of your ethernet card by running this command in your terminal, "sudo ifconfig eth0 down". Other than that, it works great.
|
| Notes: | Works fine with ath5k (nov. 2009, Debian sid, 2.6.30-1-amd64)
|
| Notes: | It's returns Hal status 13, and sometimes hal status 3
|
| Notes: | In Openhal the interface ath0 show up there aren't any communication, the commands like iwlist return error.
|
| Notes: | Suported by ndiswrapper ver 1.47 (use tarball package) with windows xp driver.
|
| Notes: | In Fedora 7, crash (kernel panic) when try to load ndiswrapper (modprobe ndiswrapper)
|
| Notes: | Crash because default kernel limit stack to 4k. Need to recompile kernel with CONFIG_4KSTACKS disabled.
|
| Notes: | Works on Ubuntu 7.10 with ndiswrapper 1.50 (and uninstalled madwifi modules)

|
| URL: | http://www.atheros-xspan.com/
|
| Interface: | PCI-Express x1
|
| Notes: | Works with ath9k driver in 2.6.27+. Monitor works, injection works, but sensitivity is low, sees one AP in a location where IPW3945 w/IPWRAW driver (in a Lenovo r61) seems 25+...could be due to antenna.
|
| Notes: | Works on ubuntu 8.10 as a driver in linux kernel 2.6.27, but de-associate within minutes and can't connect any access points anymore. Have to rmmod and then modprobe to make it work, but most of the time creates a kernel panic when modprobing ... Sensitivity normal. What's more it seems partially fixed with todays release ! (december 27th 2008)
|
| Notes: | works fine with compat-wireless-2009-01-30 release (ath9k) drivers, but low sensitivity compared to my AR5005GS and IPW3945, where I used to have a 5/5 and 4/5 link I now have 2/5 link...
|
| Notes: | Works absolutely perfect in BT4, just have to manually raise txpower and get way more APs than with any other wireless adapter I had, plus the speed and bandwidth is doubled than with other adapters. Monitor mode and injection work perfect too. Only in other Linux distros the sensitivity is low because of regional limitation, and sadly setting regional codes and modprobing doesn't fix this (ubuntu, in my case)
