| Chipset: | AR5005G = (AR2413)
|
| Chip: | AR2413 (802.11b+g)
|
| URL: | http://www.atheros.com/pt/AR5005G.htm

|
| 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://svn.madwifi.org/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: | 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
