Atheros AR5007EG ath_pci Error

[PosthuM]

Hello

I've a notebook with 3 installed OS

Windows Vista
Ubuntu 8.10
Back Track 4

My wireless card is Atheros AR5007EG, it is working perfect (sniffing,capturing ivs ...) on Ubuntu -not with ndiswrapper-
I found a few how to faq about installing it on BT4 every time i got same error message it says s.thing like that..
"Fatal : Module ath_pci not found" while trying "sudo depmod ath_pci" command.

i was installing it on ubuntu just 5 commands

sudo make install
sudo depmod -ae
sudo modprobe ath_pci
echo ath_hal | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo ath_pci | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

i also checked blacklist for ath_pci before try to install there is nothing about it and started network service on terminal .. Any idea for install it clearly ?

My Atheros AR5007EG works fine in BT4. No need to install, works straight out of the box.
Are you sure your wireless card is turned on?
Aircrack forums has some good info about this card.

[Oohoh]

The card works fine and I'm sure we can all appreciate the effort you've put into trying (as well as posting dupes) ..

I have this card also.. I think all I did to get on the net with it after finding a suitable network was .. best of luck.

sudo /etc/init.d/networking start

I logged into KDE (startx) and ran Wicd Network Manager from the KDE/Internet menu. Chose my network and here I am.

Dose that card support injection straight out of the box?

BT4 works with ath5k or ath9k kernel modules. You need to compile your self the ath_pci, if you needed so.

modprobe -r ath5k
modprobe -r ath9k
cp -r /lib/modules/"`uname -r`"/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k /root/
cp -r /lib/modules/"`uname -r`"/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath9k /root/
rm -r /lib/modules/"`uname -r`"/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath5k
rm -r /lib/modules/"`uname -r`"/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath9k

svn -r 4073 checkout http://svn.madwifi-project.org/madwifi/trunk/ madwifi-ng
wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/madwifi-ng-r4073.patch
patch -N -p 0 -i madwifi-ng-r4073.patch
cd madwifi-ng
./scripts/madwifi-unload
make
make install
depmod -ae
modprobe ath_pci
ifconfig wifi0 up

Hope I helped some
