I have a DWL-G650 revision B with Wireless Tools v27 and Extension v17 on a 2.6.10 kernel.

I’ve followed the directions here. I’m getting wifi0 by default, not ath0. When I try to use iwconfig (ie. iwconfig wifi0 mode managed) I get an “Invalid argument” error. Doesn’t matter what I try to do with iwconfig I get similar errors. iwlist wifi0 scan tells me the interface doesn’t support scanning.

The device shows up correctly in lspci, and I do have a wifi0 device.

/var/lib/pcmcia/stab tells me that Socket 0 is empty. On the other hand, cardctl info is telling me that there is an Atheros AR5001-0000-0000 with manfid 0271,0012.

I’m a little confused. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
