Hi everybody,

few days ago I flashed Kamikaze to my box (Asus WL500GP). It works with Broadcom wifi, recognized it and worked with it.

Flashing:

wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/7.09/brcm-2.4/openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx
mtd write openwrt-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx linux && reboot

Today I have changed Broadcom to Atheros wifi, Wistron Atheros CM9, but box do not recognize it
Dmesg does not show Atheros (LED AIR is on, miniPCI card is properly inserted).

Here is uci show

/etc/config/wireless/

config wifi-device      "wifi0" 
      option type         "atheros" 
      option channel      "11" 
      option agmode   "11g" 
      option disabled 0
   
  config wifi-iface

      option mode         "sta" 
      option ssid         "xxxxxxxx" 
      option encryption   "none"

/lib/wifi/broadcom.sh ---> renamed to "atheros.sh" and every string inside rewrited to "atheros" instead of "broadcom".

My question, where is problem ?

Thank you for answers.
