Instalación del dispositivo Atheros en Debian

El chipset Atheros es usado en tarjetas inalámbricas 3Com, Atheros, Belkin, D-Link y Linksys, entre otras. A partir de Lenny empezó a usarse el dispositivo libre ath5k, incluido en el núcleo, que parcialmente reemplazaba el dispositivo no libre MadWifi. A partir de Squeeze, Debian no distribuye más el dispositivo no libre MadWifi, habiendo sido reemplazado por los dispositivos libres ath5k y ath9k.

Instalación del dispositivo Atheros en Debian

Módulos del núcleo

A partir de Squeeze los módulos ath5k y ath9k vienen incluidos en el núcleo.

Carga el módulo en el núcleo,

# modprobe ath5k

# modprobe ath9k

Instalación de firmware

Ciertas tarjetas inalámbricas Atheros USB y Bluetooth requieren firmware. Este se distribuye con el paquete firmware-atheros de la sección non-free de Debian. Edita /etc/apt/sources.list y agrega la sección non-free,

deb http://ftp.cl.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free

luego actualiza con,

# apt-get update

Instala el paquete firmware-atheros con,

# apt-get install firmware-atheros

antes de cargar el módulo.

Tarjetas soportadas

Corre lspci y busca las palabras "Ethernet controller" o "Network controller" y referencias a "Wireless" o la norma 802.11. Por ejemplo,

$ lscpi
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

La primera columna arroja los números del bus PCI al cual la tarjeta está conectada con el formato <bus>:<slot>:<func>. Corre,

lspci -n -s <bus>:<slot>:<func>

para determinar el vendor y device ID de la tarjeta. Por ejemplo,

$ lscpi
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)

$ lscpi -n -s 00:09.0

La tabla muestra el PCI vendor y device ID de los chipsets encontrados en estas tarjetas.
