Hi!
I’ve a problem with a RB532 and an Atheros 5212.
[admin@MikroTik] > /system resource pci print detail
0 device="00:04.0" name="AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev: 1)" vendor="Atheros Communications, Inc."
category="Ethernet controller" vendor-id="0x168c" device-id="0x0013" irq=142
...
for me it looks like the card will be detected by the system, but no interface is shown by RouterOS:
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface print
Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running
# NAME TYPE RX-RATE TX-RATE MTU
0 R ether1 ether 0 0 1500
1 X ether2 ether 0 0 1500
2 X ether3 ether 0 0 1500
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface wireless print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
[admin@MikroTik] >
Software ist RouterOS V 2.9.30 Level 5
Any suggestions?
regards,

Test the card in another board, if you will get the same result, than it doesn’t work (RMA case).

Or, perhaps - excuse the silly question - you don’t have a wireless license on this system? Has happened to me, too
Best regards,
Dear Christian,
Yes, I know this problem. About one year ago, I also digged around to figure out the same problem. But on this board is a level 5 license, so this shouldn’t be the problem

Sorry, didn’t read the “Level 5 license” in your original post…
What brand/model is this card?
Best regards,
Remove the card. Reboot. Then shutdown after a complete startup, add card, turn back on.
Sometimes it won’t ‘mount’ the card - I had this problem and doing the above fixed it.

do you have wireless package installed and enabled in your system?
Now it works:

It was a short-circuit done by the pigtail on the Mini-PCI card. I was wondering because after unmounting and mounting again the card works, later not, and so on.
Anyway, thank you for your help!
regards,
