Hi,
I have encountered some problems when trying to connect to the internet through my wireless card.To be more precise, the interface wlan0 is not listed by the ifconfig.
I'm using slitaz 4.0.

The drivers from Atheros 9485 are, AFAIK, in 2.6.32 kernel. So, why can't i connect ?

The final release of SliTaz-4.0 is 2.6.37 kernel
Maybe you have a pre-release 4.0 if uname -a output is 2.6.32 kernel
ath9k module/driver is loaded,it may be that a newer version of ath9k is needed.
Install rfkill and verify wifi is not hard or soft blocked.
[c]$ rfkill list all[/c]
Same wifi chipset failed to work 5 months ago:

Thanks for your reply. I'll try the recommendations.

Bad news... Didn't work... Even with the news drivers, without any compilation error, don't work. And, rfkill list all don't show any block. The ath9k module can be loaded but, don't make any difference. Even var/logmessages don't show any error. I really don't know what to do...
Any advice ?
PS: my kernel is 2.6.37.

If you compile/install the backport versions of ath9k and the ar9485 doesn't work there are no other alternative drivers I'm aware of to try.

The files in http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ don't work, even stract... i don't understand... when i used arch linux the wireless had worked... Does the problem is the kernel version?
