HI Robert,
We tried to use the image you suggested. For this image if we do "lsusb" we
get the following :
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
However when we try iwconfig we do not see our wireless adapter listed. We
expected something like :
wlan1 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
if i go to /lib/firmware i can see that htc_9271.fw is listed there. Can
you please help in why i can see it through lsusb but if i do iwconfig i
dont see it?
Thanks
