| #language en ~-[[DebianWiki/EditorGuide#translation|Translation(s)]]: English - [[fr/ar5523|Français]] - [[it/ar5523|Italiano]]-~ ---- = Atheros AR5523 devices = This page describes how to enable support for !WiFi devices based on Atheros AR5005UG and AR5005UX chipsets on Debian systems. <<TableOfContents(3)>> ar5523 is an out-of-tree Linux kernel driver currently in development, for the Atheros AR5005UG (802.11b/g) and AR5005UX (802.11a/b/g) USB wireless LAN chipsets. [[#supported|Supported devices]] are listed at the end of this page. Firmware from userspace is required for device operation. {i} Atheros AR5007UG 802.11g USB devices are supported by the [[zd1211rw]] driver. {i} Atheros 802.11n USB devices are supported by the [[ar9170usb]], [[carl9170]] and [[ath9k_htc]] drivers. == Installation == <<Anchor(squeeze)>> === Squeeze === 1. Add the [[Backports|Debian Backports]] repository to {{{/etc/apt/sources.list}}}, for example: {{{ # Backported packages for Debian Squeeze/6.0 deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main }}} 1. Update the list of available packages: {{{ # aptitude update }}} 1. Install the DebianPkg:build-essential, DebianPkg:fakeroot, DebianPkg:module-assistant, DebianPkg:quilt, DebianPkg:subversion and DebianPkg:wget packages, along with the DebianPkg:debhelper package from squeeze-backports: {{{ # aptitude -t squeeze-backports install build-essential debhelper fakeroot module-assistant quilt subversion wget && exit }}} 1. Acquire the driver source and device firmware: {{{ $ svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/fullstory/ar5523/trunk/ ar5523 $ wget http://verein.lst.de/~hch/ar5523.tgz $ tar xf ar5523.tgz ar5523/uath-ar5523.bin --strip 1 }}} 1. Build and install a driver source package: {{{ $ cd ar5523 $ export QUILT_PATCHES="debian/patches" $ quilt delete kcompat-3.5 && quilt delete kcompat-2.6.34 $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc $ su # dpkg -i ../ar5523-source*deb }}} 1. Build and install an ar5523-modules-* package for your system, using [[ModuleAssistant|Module-Assistant]]: {{{ # m-a a-i ar5523 }}} 1. Install the device firmware: {{{ # mkdir /usr/local/lib/firmware # mv ../uath-ar5523.bin /usr/local/lib/firmware }}} 1. Connect the device to your system. The ar5523 kernel module is [[Modules|automatically loaded]] for supported devices. 1. [[WiFi/HowToUse|Configure]] your interface as appropriate. <<Anchor(wheezy)>> === Wheezy === 1. Install the DebianPkg:build-essential, DebianPkg:debhelper, DebianPkg:fakeroot, DebianPkg:module-assistant, DebianPkg:quilt, DebianPkg:subversion and DebianPkg:wget packages: {{{ # aptitude install build-essential debhelper fakeroot module-assistant quilt subversion wget && exit }}} 1. Acquire the driver source and device firmware: {{{ $ svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/fullstory/ar5523/trunk/ ar5523 $ wget http://verein.lst.de/~hch/ar5523.tgz $ tar xf ar5523.tgz ar5523/uath-ar5523.bin --strip 1 }}} 1. Build and install a driver source package: {{{ $ cd ar5523 $ QUILT_PATCHES="debian/patches" quilt delete kcompat-3.5 $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc $ su # dpkg -i ../ar5523-source*deb }}} 1. Build and install an ar5523-modules-* package for your system, using [[ModuleAssistant|Module-Assistant]]: {{{ # m-a a-i ar5523 }}} 1. Install the device firmware: {{{ # mkdir /usr/local/lib/firmware # mv ../uath-ar5523.bin /usr/local/lib/firmware }}} 1. Connect the device to your system. The ar5523 kernel module is [[Modules|automatically loaded]] for supported devices. 1. [[WiFi/HowToUse|Configure]] your interface as appropriate. <<Anchor(troubleshoot)>> == Troubleshooting == * Examine the kernel ring buffer ([[DebianMan:1/dmesg|dmesg(1)]]) to verify the required firmware is found: {{{ [ 8084.710715] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 10 [ 8084.875861] usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 8084.892602] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2001, idProduct=3a03 [ 8084.898149] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 8084.903447] usb 2-1: Product: USB WLAN Device [ 8084.908639] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Atheros Communications Inc [ 8084.913807] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 1.0 [ 8085.410164] firmware: requesting uath-ar5523.bin [ 8085.906863] usb 2-1: no firmware found [ 8085.912293] ar5523: probe of 2-1:1.0 failed with error -2 [ 8085.917628] usbcore: registered new interface driver ar5523 }}} * Ensure the firmware is installed, then reload the kernel module: {{{ modprobe -r ar5523 ; modprobe ar5523 }}} <<Anchor(supported)>> == Supported Devices == ## DO NOT REMOVE : this paragraph is required for search-engines !
