hi, im trying to automaticaly load on boot my atheros wireless card. i have a laptop and the card is a pcmcia. when the machine boots y doesn't recognice the card because it doesnt know what driver to atach. but if i put "ifconfig ath0 <address>" it loads without problems ive found out that to fix the problem i should edit the file /etc/pccard.conf but i dont know what string i must use to identify my card. i've tried to put the string of the output of "pciconf" but it doesnt work. here you have some information: /* this is the information of the card */ thinkpad#pciconf -lv none4@pci2:0:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x3a941186 chip=0x0013168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR5213 802.11a/b/g Wireless Adapter' class = network subclass = ethernet /*****************************************/ /* this is what ive filled in /etc/defaults/pccard.conf. what is wrong here? */ card "/Atheros */" "/ */" config auto "ath" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop /******************************************/ /* and this is the message that appears when i put in the pcmcia card. */ cardbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached) cbb0: Cardbus card activation failed /******************************************/ The last thing i want tell you is that after ifconfig ath0, if i remove the card and i put in again, the driver loads automatically. do you know how remember the driver to atach? is there any file that has this information? thank you in advance. Juan
