Revo Wifi (wlan0 error?) - prestonC - 2010-06-10
Using a Revo 3610 with built in WiFI and have installed XBMC directly to the hard drive with a Live USB. Also, my first foray into the world of Linux, so I may get the lingo wrong.
I followed these guides each twice:

I feel like I have everything setup, but I get the following error when trying to check the wlan0:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Bind socket to interface: No such device
it seems like wlan0 just isn't working.
Tried these commands, as well:
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0
ifconfig wlan0 up
Also, start networking gives me a "Rejected send message" error.
Can someone point me in a direction? Hope that's enough info.
Thanks!

some atheros cards require a backport package from the standard repos..
btw, did u append a "sudo" with the networking commands [iwconfig,ifconfig etc ] that u use?

What packages do I need?
I did use sudo, both as a prepend to the command and by logging in as su and going to root.
