I've just given the ath5k driver from current wireless-everything.git repository a try, and it looks like it now supports my Trust Speedshare Turbo Pro PCMCIA card. At least, I can scan for networks. As I don't have a wireless router at home (and no neighbors with open ones), I cannot try an actual connection. $ git describe v2.6.24-rc8-689-g40dfd0a I do get some probably bad messages in dmesg though: <on insertion of the card> pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0 PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:00.0 (0000 -> 0002) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 ath5k_pci 0000:02:00.0: registered as 'phy0' phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43) ath5k phy0: RF2112A 2GHz radio found (0x46) udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to ath0 <on 'ifconfig ath0 up'> ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): ath0: link is not ready <on 'iwlist ath0 scan'> ath5k phy1: noise floor calibration timeout (2412MHz) ath5k phy1: noise floor calibration timeout (2412MHz) ath5k phy1: noise floor calibration timeout (2422MHz) ath5k phy1: ath5k_chan_set: unable to reset channel 3 (2422 Mhz) ath0: failed to set channel 3 (2422 MHz) for scan ath5k phy1: noise floor calibration timeout (2412MHz) ath5k phy1: ath5k_chan_set: unable to reset channel 1 (2412 Mhz) ath0: failed to restore operational channel after scan The host system is a Toshiba Satellite A40 laptop (i386, Mobile Pentium 4) running Debian unstable. >From lspci: 01:0b.0 CardBus bridge [0607]: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 33) 01:0b.0 0607: 1179:0617 (rev 33) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications, Inc.
