Dear list,
today I wanted to get wifi working. I am running Linux 2.6.26. Since you
still need Madwifi [1], I added non-free to my /etc/sources.list and did
sudo m-a a-i madwifi
which did everything for me. Afterward I pressed Fn + F2 to turn on
wifi. After a second the blue LED turned on, but turned off two or three
seconds later.
I than followed the hint in the Debian Wiki and added options pciehp
pciehp_force=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/pciehp [2].
Reading “Support for RF2425 is under development.”, I blacklisted the
athk5 module.
But everything to no avail. Output from dmesg.
