atheros driver problem

[fredo]

Hi,

I have atheros wifi hardware and i don't see my interface.
With modinfo i can see ath9k module is in bt4 and airdriver-ng say that madwifi driver is installed.
Anybody know why i can't see my interface in iwconfig?


airdriver-ng detect
--------------------------
Found "Madwifi[-ng]" device: (ath_pci)
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

PCI devices (generic detection):
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)


airdriver-ng installed
-----------------------------
Found following drivers installed:
16. Madwifi[-ng] - IEEE80211


iwconfig
------------
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.


Thanks

Did you tried

modprobe ath9k

What does

ifconfig -a

show ?
