ok. for the last almost 3 weeks i've been trying to get the ath0 driver to work properly with the dlink dwl-ag650 card i got for my t20 thinkpad with 5.2.1. it kinda works sometimes. that sometimes is driving me nuts. i understand that there is the possibility that i'm really retarded and not being able to make a simple piece of hardware work properly on this laptop. usually that's not the case but for some reason this piece of hardware has been very stubborn. i have to say that unfortunately it works with no problem on a windows laptop with the windows driver. all that being said can somebody explain the outputs below. ifconfig says it's associated but appears that it's not really. that happens a lot. i tried 2 different access points. did reset the routers about a dozen times. i'm back at the point where i'm about the rip this card off the machine and trow it against the wall and then burn it until it converts to a fluid... thank you.. chon# ifconfig ath0 ath0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::280:c8ff:fe16:eb4b%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:80:c8:16:eb:4b media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid whatever 1:whatever channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit chon# ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down ^C --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 278 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss chon# dmesg ........................................ ath0: hardware error; resetting ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ath0: device timeout ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 3 ......................................
