The "No active IBSS STAs" message shows up in both 2.6.27 and 2.6.29, so it's probably not relevant. I have a simular issue with an AR242x (ath5k) and latest kernel version. ifconfig tells me it is running but gets no IPv4 address, in NetworkManager no WLAN is listed. An other Notebook next shows a lot of available WLANs around. The concerned notebook is currently not available for me, but I can spend further information by question. When will a fix released? wesselch, by the latest kernel version you mean the version from Fedora 11 updates (2.6.30.9-90.fc11)? Do you use the i686 PAE kernel too? Hello, the concerned notebook is approx. 60km away, but I will check to night if I can get the uname output. It would be helpful to also check if it's any better in Rawhide. Either by installing the Rawhide kernel on F11 or by testing with a live CD (Fedora 12 Beta, or a nightly Rawhide snapshot). I have a similar problem. My card works in a laptop running F10 (kernel version 2.6.27.37-170.2.104.fc10.i686), but doesn't work in a laptop running F11 (kernel version 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE). Here's the output of lspci -v on the F11 system for the card: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Subsystem: Wistron NeWeb Corp. Wistron NeWeb WLAN a+b+g model CB9 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 19 Memory at 224000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 Kernel modules: ath5k The system log on the F11 system contains these entries when the card is inserted: Nov 19 18:35:47 f11lappy kernel: pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 Nov 19 18:35:48 f11lappy kernel: ath5k 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) Nov 19 18:35:48 f11lappy kernel: ath5k 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 Nov 19 18:35:48 f11lappy kernel: ath5k 0000:04:00.0: registered as 'phy1' Nov 19 18:35:48 f11lappy kernel: ath5k phy1: Couldn't identify radio revision.

I wonder if it isn't rfkill related. At any rate - can you get ath_info from the madwifi project and run that just to make sure the numbers reported by F10 are accurate? Looking at current ath5k, it should be detected by this path in attach.c: } else if (srev == AR5K_SREV_AR5213A && ah->ah_phy_revision == AR5K_SREV_PHY_5212B) { ah->ah_radio = AR5K_RF5112; ah->ah_single_chip = false; ah->ah_radio_5ghz_revision = AR5K_SREV_RAD_5112B; AR5K_SREV_AR5213A = 0x59 AR5K_SREV_PHY_5212B = 0x43 AR5K_SREV_RAD_5112B = 0x36 ath_info is packaged in Fedora. On F10 it's in updates-testing (yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install ath_info). On F11 and F12 it's in the standard repositories. I ran ath_info and here's the results: ============== F11 (kernel 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE) ============== On the F11 system (note: Comment #6 shows the lspci output for this card in my system): # ath_info 0x224000000 sleep_ctl reg ffffffff reset_ctl reg ffffffff waking up the chip removing resets MAC revision 0xffff is not supported! I also tried running this command and then ran the ath_info command again, but with the same results: # setpci -s 04:00.0 command=0x41f cache_line_size=0x10 ============== F10 (kernel 2.6.27.38-170.2.113.fc10.i686) ============== Note: this is a newer F10 kernel than the one I was running in my original post in Comment #6, but the card still works great.

Do you use the i686 PAE kernel too? Hello, I am back again. Now I got the uname out put. A 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE kernel is installed currently. But WLANs already not visible at that NB. All other NB are able to watch a lot of WLANs around. What's wrong? How to fix that problem? Need a little help, christian Any better in Fedora 13 Alpha? This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
