STEEVdotnet Random ramblings, sometimes talk about Gentoo development

Speaking of wireless…

Thanks to Jeremy Olexa (aka darkside) I now have 2 new Atheros based cards.

One is a Belkin N1 Wireless Notebook card, Part #F5D8011 - ath9k based, although I've gotten it recognized by the kernel and I can get an IP address via dhcp, as well as connected via WPA2, I can't seem to pass traffic.
Two is a Buffalo AG54 WLI-CB-AG54L, this one seems to be ath5k based, although I haven't attempted to use this one at all yet.

Currently towards the bottom of the todo list, is to get these both working, preferably using the N1 as an access point, so I can test out the speeds of the Efika MX's wireless. This has a secondary goal of seeing if the wireless issue that I have (currently I cannot seem to ssh into any wireless clients) is the AP I am using (pfSense based) or if it is something more; I'm guessing the former.
