For a long time, the Atheros 5007EG hasn't worked with the ath5k module, and those of us who had it used MadWifi. Today, I upgraded my kernel, and the latest special Madwifi snapshot wouldn't build. This has happened in the past, last time, someone on this list had submitted a patch to fix it. Just for fun, I decided to try modprobing ath5k and seeing if the card might be recognized and work. It seems that it does. This is running 2.6.27-0.244.rc2.git1.fc10.x86_64. I modprobed ath5k and saw that I now had a visible wlan0 card. Did ifconfig up and iwlist scan and it saw the networks. I then adjusted wpa_supplicant (which I use rather than NetworkManager--I use fluxbox most of the time and often just boot into runlevel 3) and Lo! and Behold! it worked. I know that at least one other person on this list uses the card. I'd be interested if other folks with that card (The older EEE PC uses it, though I believe the 900 series uses a realink of some sort, but it's fairly popular in lower end laptops) are also having success. Thanks for any input. To the kernel developers, thank you, great work. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Buffy: Well, that works out great.
