Hi,
I am fairly new to using RouterOS. So far I have used it on RouterBoards for creating bridges, doing basic routing and rate limiting. This is the first time I have attempted to get wifi going in a Mikrotik.
First up, I am running MikroTik RouterOS 2.9.8.
I am using a CM9 card, from Wistron Neweb. I can supply other details if required. Taking a look in /drivers I see :
0 D VIA Rhine I/II Fast Ethernet
1 D Atheros AR5212 PCI
So that all looks good. In /system resource pci :
# DEVICE VENDOR NAME IRQ
0 00:04.0 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (re... 142
1 00:03.0 VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105 [Rhine-III] (rev:... 143
2 00:02.0 VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105 [Rhine-III] (rev:... 142
3 00:00.0 Integrated Device Technol... IDT79RC32434 (rev: 0) 140
But, when I jump in to /interface wireless I see :
[admin@MikroTik] interface wireless> pr
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
[admin@MikroTik] interface wireless>
ie. I see nothing at all. I have tried using the add command but this just seems to add a virtual interface, not the real Atheros one that I require. I feel like I am missing something very very simple here but cannot lay my finger on it. Can anyone help?
If anyone requires any further information then please don't hesitate to reply to this post.
Cheers,
Dave
