RE: [Atheros network card information]
The wiconfig utility is being deprecated -
please use ifconfig. As far as the
channels available, that depends upon
the region you are in, and what frequencies
can legally be utilized:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
We can see that in North America, channels
1 to 11 are ok, but 12, 13, 14 are not legal.
It looks like ifconfig got it right.
For a complete list of available AP's, type:
# ifconfig ath0 scan

Subject: [Atheros network card information]
Hello,
I have some questions regarding information of wireless lan network card.
Specially I'm using 3Com network card with atheros chipset.
FYI, I put part of result 'pci'.
Class = Network (Ethernet)
Vendor ID = 168ch, Atheros Communications, Inc.
Device ID = 1bh, AR5006X 802.11abg NIC
PCI index = 0h
PCI Mem Address = df000000h enabled
PCI Int Pin = INT A
Interrupt line = 9
CPU Interrupt = 9h
I typed "ifconfig ath0 list chan" to show available channels, then I got 11
channels for 11g between 1 to 11.
[/root/]#ifconfig ath0 list chan
Channel 1 : 2412 Mhz 11g
Channel 2 : 2417 Mhz 11g
Channel 3 : 2422 Mhz 11g
Channel 4 : 2427 Mhz 11g
Channel 5 : 2432 Mhz 11g
Channel 6 : 2437 Mhz 11g
Channel 7 : 2442 Mhz 11g
Channel 8 : 2447 Mhz 11g
Channel 9 : 2452 Mhz 11g
Channel 10 : 2457 Mhz 11g
Channel 11 : 2462 Mhz 11g
But I got different channel list with 'wiconfig atho' command.
Channel list: [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ]
I wonder that why did two differnent command show different channel list to
me. I think I should have same result regardless type of command.
And I'm wondering why I cannot use channel 13 in mode 11g.
Finally, I would like to get the list of stations that are currently
associated with access point. So I used "ifconfig ath0 list sta" command,
but I couldn't get any information for stations. How could I get information
of associated station with WAP ?
Thanks in advanced.
Wayne.
