problems with wifi

[Ondra Holecek]

hello,

if i use ndis (driver for AR 5212), i can't see any ndis0 interface

driver is net5211.inf, ar5211.sys => ar5211_sys.ko, which should work 
with this chipset.

i have compiled kernel with
options         NDISAPI
device          ndis

and with or without device ath

but still no success

the "wireless key" does not show anything in xev, maybe it is the reason?

what to do with it?

thank you
oh
