Atheros AR9300 ath9k - bug?
Posted: 10. Apr 2012, 02:26
Atheros card not working at all, I'm wondering If I should fight this issue or just upgrade to a newer kernel version, anycase I'm posting because this is a fresh installation with no significant changes made to it, what I mean is that this driver isn't working out of the box. Here goes some data:
uname -a
ifconfig wlan0 Check the MAC address.
ifconfig wlan0 up
lspci
lsmod | grep -i ath
dmesg | grep -i ath
Needless to say interface is not showing up on wicd. Should i fight, or just upgrade kernel?
