| 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: | 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: | 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
|
| 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.

%ATHER.DeviceDesc.3067% = ATHER_DEV_04281468.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C&SUBSYS_04281468 //References to this Device, Look ATHER_DEV_04281468.ndi ,an curiosity look DeviceDesc, = 3067
...
[ATHER_DEV_04281468.ndi.NT] //more parameters referencing this device
Characteristics = 0x84 ; NCF_PHYSICAL | NCF_HAS_UI
BusType = 5
