Hi. I just downloaded the wireless compat package (2008-03-04) to try
out ath5k on my thinkpad T60p. I'm running Debian testing with the
Debian 2.6.22 kernel with uname
Linux naga 2.6.22-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Nov 12 08:32:57 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux
When I try to load ath5k, I get the following kernel output:
Mar 5 00:03:42 naga kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000 ->
0002)
Mar 5 00:03:42 naga kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI
17 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
Mar 5 00:03:42 naga kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device
0000:03:00.0 to 64
Mar 5 00:03:42 naga kernel: ath5k_pci 0000:03:00.0: registered as 'phy1'
Mar 5 00:03:43 naga kernel: ath5k phy1: failed to wakeup the MAC Chip
Mar 5 00:03:43 naga kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0
disabled
Mar 5 00:03:43 naga kernel: ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed
with error -5
lspci -vnn gives this for the wireless device:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212
802.11abg NIC [168c:1014] (rev 01)
Subsystem: IBM ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini Express Adapter
(AR5BXB6) [1014:058a]
Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 21
Memory at edf00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit-
Queue=0/0 Enable-
Capabilities: [60] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [90] MSI-X: Enable- Mask- TabSize=1
Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting <?>
Capabilities: [140] Virtual Channel <?>
Kernel modules: ath5k
I know the driver is still under development, but thought it might work
since 168c:0014 is listed as likely working.
Thanks,
Jerry Quinn
