[CUWiN-Dev] CUWireless Atheros Support

[Mark Cather]

I am trying to do some initial work on a couple of large area mesh  
networks in the Baltimore area.  I would like to use the network  
cards made by Ubiquiti.  They have a range of cards that will soon  
support everything from 5.2GHz to 900MHz.  The Ubiquiti cards use the  
Atheros AR5004 (AR5213 and AR5112) chipset.  Do you know if the ath  
driver, in your distribution, supports these chips?  I have two  
machines setup with the Ubiquiti Super Range 5 card and neither one  
is able to see it's wireless network.  All I get is:  "ath_start:  
ignore data packet, state 1".

 From what I've seen, the AR5004 has only recently been supported  
under NetBSD and madwifi.  If the ath driver on cuwin version 0.6.0  
doesn't support the AR5004 chipset, do you have a development  
distribution that is new enough to have the new driver?

Thanks for your help...
