Hi all,
I have the following device (0x168c:001c) which comes with certain MacBooks:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g
Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
The current driver from merged-upstream of a few days ago doesn't seem to
work for this card. In ath5k_hw_nic_wakeup, it dies after the nic reset
and any MMIO accesses from then on return -1 (needs a hard reboot to fix).
I dumped a trace of the working madwifi driver using mmio-trace and saw that
it only sets the bottom two bits when doing AR5K_RESET_CTL. So, the patch
below indeed makes probe work for the card.
It isn't perfect after that; it can associate with an AP but appears to reset
constantly so it's not really usable.
I'd love to get this working generally; if needed I can try out patches,
supply traces, or, given enough direction, contribute some code...
