Mageia 2 and atheros 2427 not working

Hi,

I have an Asus 1001P with this wifi. Although with Mageia 1 was working like a charm, with Mageia 2 is not!
I can find availiable wireless networks, but i can't connect. My network is unlocked (no WEP, WAP), only with mac filtering (WinXP works).
Ath9k module is loaded.
I will update through ethernet (to see if that is the problem), but please indicate rpms that i must have installed.
Next, i will start to search log fies/play with konsole/etc.

THX!
Kiriakos

Hi,

you should have running a dhcclient and (maybe) wpa_supplicant,
from these packages:
Code: Select all
dhcp-client-4.2.3P2-6.mga2
dhcp-common-4.2.3P2-6.mga2
wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-6.mga2


this is my dhclient at work:

Code: Select all
# ps afx | grep -i -B 1 dhc
 1319 ?        Ssl    0:01 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon
28002 ?        S      0:00  \_ /sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib64/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-wlan0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-7cc4b9f2-e360-4a77-abf9-7b03e10140f1-wlan0.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf wlan0


this is my wpa_supplicant at work
(wpa_supplicant should be for ciphred network, I'm not sure you need it)

Code: Select all
# ps afx | grep -i  wpa
 1537 ?        S      0:00 /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -u -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.pid
