I have a D-link wireless card, DWL-G650, which is based on the Atheros chip. When I do a kldload if_ath.ko it prints a load of stuff saying speeds etc and ifconfig then has a ath0 device :-) However, I tried configuring it and it all seems a bit random. It'll still say "no carrier" still and sometimes it will go into the associated state and I can ping machines, but then it'll go back to no carrier again? The length is stays in the associated state seems a bit random. Sometimes i'll get it for maybe a minute, sometimes it'll just immediately switch back to no carrier. Is anyone using the ath driver with success? I'm all of 10cm away from the access point too.... Suggestions?
