Hi,
I have a network mini-pci adaptor installed on my Alix. 1D. It's an Atheros Wireless G23DBM (model WLM54GP23).
I succesfully installed meteohub on a 4Gb cf card. I connected it by a internet-cable and could connect to the web-interface.
But there I want to connect to my wifi. I set the ssid, wep-key an click save. In the network-page, I see a extra ip-adress for wlan but when I disconnect the internet-cable I couldn't connect the webinterface by wlan.
Is this pci-adaptor compatible or am I doing something wrong?

Re:Alix.1D with Atheros Wireless G23DBM
Meteohub supports WLM54G23 (http://www.pcengines.ch/wlm54g23.htm) that has a AR5005 chip set in it. WLAN boards with Atheros AR5006X are not supported.
Which you have you can see from it's PCI-ID, must be 168c:001a (not 168c:001b).

Re:Alix.1D with Atheros Wireless G23DBM
Are there plans to work with this chip set? If yes, I should buy meteohub I think, else it's useless for me..

Hello,
ten years later, I seem to have an identical problem:
I am trying to add WLAN to my ALIX.2D3 using a WLM54G card (difficult to find nowadays!). The label on the card says just "WLM54G", without the "23" - this lokks as if if were the wrong card. But on the other hand, the PCI-ID is the correct one mentioned below by admin (168c:0001a).
I have the same symptoms as described by Periklast. I even can see the additional WiFi IP number and can use it to logon to Meteohub, but as soon as I pull the ethernet cable, the connection breaks down, for the WiFi and for the ethernet address. When I boot Meteohub without cable connection, it is not accessible.
It seems that the card is recognized by the system, there are several lines in dmesg with "wlan0".
I have tried several configuration and reboot sequences without success:
- configure and activate WLAN - shutdown - disconnect power - pull ethernet cable - connect power
- configure and activate WLAN - restart - pull ethernet cable during shutdown - wait for reboot
- configure and activate WLAN - restart - wait for reboot - pull ethernet cable
Any new insights, hints or ideas for workarounds?
Season's Greetings to everyone!
Yours, Helmut

Re: Alix.1D with Atheros Wireless G23DBM
What shall I say - it works 
Maybe it was just a matter of patience - after removing power the Alix board forgets its date and time settings, and according to the log then realizes that the weather station has different settings. It appears to take a while until all is set. And it takes some minutes until the system shows up in my WiFi network.
