Hi,

I want to try wireless boot with an Atheros 5212.

I got usb image from rom-o-matic selecting all-drivers and ath5k with 
the same behaviour:

gPXE> iwstat
iwstat: command not found

gPXE> ifstat
net0: 00:c0:02:00:02:41 on PCI04:00.0 (closed)
   [Link:down, TX:0 TXE:0 RX:0 RXE:0]
   [Link status: Unknown (0x1a086001)]

(I check the mac and IT'S atheros' address)

Calls my attention the PCI04 and the command not found statement.

The platform is an Intel Atom board and the wifi card it's a MiniPCI 
with suitable adapter to full size PCI.

How I can get iw* commands functionality to work?

Rom-o-matic lacks this option support?

Right now I have no linux machine to enable gPXE build from source.

Best Regards
Juan Belmonte
