Ath-driver.org, OpenHAL HOWTO

In the last few days I was solving problem with accessing EEPROM in Atheros cards in case there is checksum error when loading MadWifi + original Atheros HAL.

After few hours of experiments I found working solution provided by madwifi-old driver in combination with OpenHAL (from ath-driver.org), which is open-source implementation of Atheros HAL (not yet finished). Here are few notes how to get these things to work.

Atheros PCI-MiniPCI reduction 3.3V power supply HW patch

January 11, 2007

Filed under: EN, WiFi — Plnt @ 4:02 pm

If you ever tried to use Atheros MiniPCI module (ie. Wistron Neweb CM9) in older computer, you probably failed. The reason is old revision of PCI bus. PCI 2.2 introduces 3.3 volt availability for peripherals usage. The new Atheros MiniPCI modules require this feature. If you use them in PCI reduction in older motherboard, you need to find 3.3V source somewhere else. There are few ways how to get around this, one of them is described in this article.
