Atheros network drivers linux

Ubuntu Documentation

Built-in drivers/modules, tested only on Intrepid

Also works on Karmic — see below

If the method described in this section doesn’t work for you, try the alternate method using »madwifi» and »ath_pci» described below.

Look for the ath5k module, located in the package linux-backports-modules-intrepid. Install the package using either Synaptic or apt-get, and make sure it is activated on System/Administration/Hardware Drivers.

Note: For 9.10 substitute linux-backports-modules-karmic,

Follow the steps below only if ath5k module did not work. This may be the result of a conflict with either ath_hal or ath_pci, or ath5k might be blacklisted somewhere. So:

1) Hit «alt+f2» to run a command and type:

And add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

Reboot. If it’s still not working than it is very likely you have ath5k being blacklisted somewhere. Blacklisting may have occurred if you are coming from a Hardy upgrade and/or did not uninstall the madwifi driver before doing this. So try the following, but Be Extremely Careful — this next command opens nautilus with root privileges, which can change and/or damage any file on the system.

2) Hit «alt+f2» to run a command and type:

And navigate to

Now check each and every file for a line that looks like:

And just add a «#» character at the beginning of the line, thus commenting it. You might probably find this case on a file named «madwifi».

2.1) Alternatively, to quickly find where ath5k is being blacklisted, you can open a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) and type:

Just remember you need to just comment lines that have «blacklist ath5k».

This solution is based on this thread on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6089169

If after all the above you see a network but cannot connect

You might want to try changing the WPA Supplicant on your network manager to wext. On wicd it’s the first option when you go into Preferences.

If after everything you don’t see your network

Remember that you might be trying to connect to an access point that is not broadcasting its name (hidden SSID), which is a separate issue and can be checked by enabling SSID broadcast on the access point.

Manually installed drivers

sudo lshw -C network

I found the following things helpful:

3) The wireless LED on my laptop does not work in linux. I may have pressed the wireless button while troubleshooting and turned off wireless without knowing it. So while fiddling around, I may have installed the right driver but not known it.

Method Using madwifi and ath_pci

The following method was described in the Ubuntu Forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072. Sections of this thread are quoted below. If you run into trouble, looking at the details of that thread may be helpful.

Dr. P.J. Kurian posted the following information (edited here):

Hi guys! In this thread you will find the instructions for installing the madwifi drivers for Atheros wireless cards. Please follow the instructions exactly.

Open the terminal by navigating through Applications—>Accessories—> Terminal.

Now type the following commands in the terminal window:

Now uncomment anything in that file that starts with deb by changing it from #deb to deb or something along those lines. To exit and save your changes, hit CTRL+X. Then answer «YES» to «Do you want to save?» and hit ENTER.

Now type the following commands:

Restart your machine. Your wireless connection should work now.

optional: I use wicd to connect to the wireless modem. To install wicd type the following commands in a terminal window:

Warning about kernel updates

Kernel updates of your system will kill your driver, so you’ll need to recompile it. Type the command sudo -i into a terminal window and just repeat the last three steps. Your madwifi will come back to life.

Additional step for kernel 2.6.32.22 and later

Kernel 2.6.32.22 changed the default for the rfkill parameter of ath_pci from 0 to 1, which had the effect of killing the methods described above. You’ll need to make sure that it’s set back to 0 on system startup. To do that, edit (or create) the file /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf to include the line

Your wireless should work after you reboot.

Установка драйвера Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565/ AR9565 для Ubuntu 12.04 (DELL Inspiron 3521)

Всем доброго времени суток!

Недавно приобрел DELL Inspiron 3521. Ноут поставляется с предустановленной Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

При обновлении с 12.04 до 12.04.3 возникает ошибка во время установки пакета wifi драйвера oem-wireless-ath9k-3.9-rc4-2-dkms. После перезагрузки само собой перестаёт работать wifi адаптер.

Проверял следующи образом, в терминале (CTRL+ALT+T):

lshw -class network

Получите сообщение о сетевых адаптерах присутствующих в ноуте, и если там присутствует следующая запись, то скорее всегоу вас схожая проблема:

*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter
vendor: Qualcomm Atheros

Победить это можно следующим образом:

по следующей ссылке https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker. kports/stable/ скачиваете и распаковываете compat-drivers-3.9-rc4-2-s.tar.bz2

в терминале переходите в распакованную папку и выполняете:

sudo make clean
sudo ./scripts/driver-select ath9k
sudo make

Скорее всего получите ошибку переопределения функции

error: redefinition of ‘kref_get_unless_zero’
include/linux/kref.h:47:32: note: previous definition of ‘kref_get_unless_zero’ was here

В этом случае находите файлик compat-3.8.h в распакованной папке (лучше при помощи поиска 🙂 ), открываете его любимым редактором, находите и комментите следующие строки:

static inline int __must_check kref_get_unless_zero(struct kref *kref)
<
return atomic_add_unless(&kref->refcount, 1, 0);
>

далее опять запускаем компиляцию, устанавливаем и закрываем терминал:

sudo make
sudo make install
exit

после перезагрузки Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565/ AR9565 должна заработать.

Как установить сетевой драйвер в Linux?

А если я хочу проверять ежемесячно? Где хранятся эти настройки?

Я не вижу этого в / etc / update-manager

Хорошо, теперь я нашел этот файл значений в Ubuntu 10.10: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic

Если у вас установлена ​​ОС и вы хотите использовать сетевую карту как новое оборудование, вам следует обратиться к поставщику за сетевыми драйверами. Обычно сетевые драйверы поставляются с исходным пакетом модулей ядра. Вы должны скомпилировать модуль драйвера для своего ядра.

установить утилиты «build essential»

распаковать исходный пакет в какую-нибудь папку

После установки вы можете загрузить только что скомпилированный модуль, введя команду:

Новейшим сетевым устройствам обычно требуется время, чтобы проникнуть в ядро ​​Linux. Все драйверы обычно встроены в большие дистрибутивы, такие как Debian (или Ubuntu) и Centos.

В ответах на другие ответы здесь подробно рассказывается о том, как скомпилировать модуль драйвера и вставить его — если вы посмотрите на исходный код Linux, вы можете «grep» имя вашего устройства в каталоге / drivers / net, например: ,

Это может привести к чему-то вроде:

Я обрезал некоторые строки для краткости. Но имена модулей такие же, как и у каталога до Kconfig, так что вы можете проверить, активен ли он с помощью lsmod:

Иногда мои драйверы Intel для моего встроенного Wi-Fi умирают, тогда я должен удалить и снова добавьте его:

Тогда волшебным образом это снова работает. Мне все еще нужно внести это исправление в проект NetworkManager .

Если возвращается «alx», драйвер уже загружен:

Если нет, вам не повезло. Вы можете управлять интерфейсом с помощью команд «ifconfig» или «ip link»:

Более новые Linux больше не используют «eth» в качестве имен интерфейсов.

Итак, я нашел в дереве ядра слова «killer» и «e2200» и ничего не смог найти. Затем я выполнил поиск в Интернете и обнаружил, что это устройство Atheros, похожее на драйвер «alx». Кто-то обновил драйвер для работы с вашей картой, вам повезло. Если таких карт в мире достаточно, или он его расширил, все, что вам нужно сделать, это обновить Linux, и он будет работать.

Добро пожаловать в Linux! Не стоит покупать старое оборудование, для которого кто-то уже сделал бесплатные драйверы . 🙂

Good info. Lucky me I came across your blog by accident (stumbleupon).
