Loup Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I get " wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device " when I click on "Create and setup interface" on the Jasager home page . root@OpenWrt:~# iwconfig ath0 ath0 No such device root@OpenWrt:~# ifconfig ath0 ifconfig: ath0: error fetching interface information: Device not found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Did you let Jasager create the device first? Just browse to the web interface and it will offer to create ath0 for you. Or you could do wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digininja Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Daft question but are you on a Fon? If so, do you have the madwifi drivers loaded? If not, are you on a device with an atheros chipset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loup Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yes it's a FON, and if I compare my System information page from webif and Darren's screenshot, everything is the same. Humm, except that my kernel version is 2.6.19 instead 2.6.21 ... why ?? Unless the board information is hardcoded in the webif html, I haven't checked, it's an Atheros. I can pop the case to be 100% sure. I've extracted the jasager-madwifi_1.tar at the root level, is there something I could check to make sure it's properly installed Thanks !

digininja Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 use dmesg and grep for karma and madwifi, that will tell you if the modules are being loaded. You can also use lsmod to check the list of modules in memory. I don't know why you'd be on a lower kernel version, unless you got a different firmware from somewhere. I haven't heard any reports of fons with wifi chipsets that aren't atheros so my feeling is that it is software failure somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
