Postup zprovoznění pod Linuxem

ath5k

Pokud neni ath5k v jadre, bude potreba ho zkompilovat.

Device Drivers  --->
  [*] Network device support  --->
        Wireless LAN  --->
          <M>   Atheros 5xxx wireless cards support

Pote staci pouze % modprobe ath5k;

Nezda se, ze by karta vyzadovala firmware.

Pro AP mod je potreba hostapd a obecne nejnovejsi kernel.

madwifi

Take je mozno pouzit madwifi. Vzhledem k tomu, ze "stabilni" verze je 2 roky stara, je vice nez vhodne pouzit verzi ze svn.

svn co http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk/
cd trunk
make
make install

Pak jiz staci % modprobe ath_pci;

Vytvoreni bezdratovych rozhrani

Stanice (klient):

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta

AP:

wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap

Zruseni rozhrani:

wlanconfig ath0 destroy

Poznámka

Madwifi a ath5k nelze pouzivat zaroven. Jeden z modulu musi byt vzdy na blacklistu.
