DLINK G520 not workin (NEWBIE)

[gonsol]

Hi,

I'm using Knoppix from CD. I would like to install my DLINK, so i downloaded the madwifi drivers for Atheros chips.
But when i try to load #insmod ath_pci.o i get this error message (i previous loaded wlan.o & ath_hal.o without problem
----
root@ttyp1[madwifi-20030802]# insmod driver/ath_pci.o
driver/ath_pci.o: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
----
taking a look dmesg i see
------
ath_pci: 0.8.3.2 BETA (Sam Leffler <sam@errno.com>)
PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:09.0
ath%d: unable to attach hardware; HAL status 13
ath_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
-----------

any clue? Do you need more info? i am newbie so ask if you need something.
Is it related that doing #make install for madwifi can not write on the ramdisk?

I'm newbie in linux.

Thanks,

Gon.
