In some places you will find the name of the chipset instead of the name of the chip
Atheros reference design
| Chipset: | AR5210 (802.11a only)
|
| URL: | http://www.atheros.com
|
| Interface: | Cardbus
|
| Antenna Connector: | (unknown type)
|
| Device Information: | 168c:0007 Subsystem: Unknown device 168c:1011
|
| Chipset: | AR5005G = (AR2413)
|
| Chip: | AR2413 (802.11b+g)
|
| URL: | http://www.atheros.com/pt/AR5005G.htm
|
| Supports: | IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
|
| 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: | 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 3053 if you reload the modules (see http://rik.rikva.nl/?q=node/10) and then run depmod -a (as root)
|
| Notes: | Works on the Acer Aspire 5051 using madwifi source pulled 2006-12-18 (OpenSuSE 10.2/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
|
| Chipset: | AR5005VL = (AR5513)
|
| Chip: | AR5513 (802.11a+b+g)
|
| URL: | http://www.atheros.com/pt/AR5005VL.htm
|
| Supports: | IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
|
| Notes: | As of 2006-06-10 the HAL does not support this chipset.

|
| Device Information: | TBD
|
| Notes: | works with madwifi-r2153-20070224
|
| Notes: | Works on Toshiba Satellite A135
|
| Notes: | Had to change order of module insertion. Works when order is:modprobe wlan_scan_sta,modprobe wlan_wep,modprobe ath_pci
|
| Supports: | IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
|
| Notes: | Works great with Madwifi included with Ubuntu Feisty. A 108Mbps mini-pci Express card.
|
| Supports: | IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
|
| Notes: | Works with madwifi 0.9.3 under Ubuntu Edgy on Samsung R20 laptop.
|
| Notes: | Didn't try madwifi driver provided by Ubuntu (restricted-modules).
|
| Notes: | 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").
|
| Supports: | IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
|
| Notes: | Works with madwifi 0.9.2.1-0.1 under SuSE 10.2 on Acer Aspire 3050 (3053WXMi) laptop.
