Hi list, A couple of days ago I asked why my pc changes the wireless card name. It switches between AR9285 ( right) and AR5008 ( wrong). Someone suggested that this is because another kernel module is loaded by mistake. Well, it is not the case. When system identified with AR9285, it loads ath9k and I can connect to the router. When system identifies my card as AR5008, no kernel module is present at all ( lspci -k). The wrong card name occurs only when system rebooted. If I gracefully shut down the system, it always comes up with a right name for the card ( AR9285). So, how to force the system identify my card right no matter if I reboot or shut down? Thank you.
I would like to help you, but I do not remember your earlier message. Why did you not reply to the earlier one so that everything would be in the same thread? That would have made searching the archives easier. As a result, I may be duplicating some previous information.
The selection of a driver for a given device comes from the PCI ID. If your system is showing the wrong device, then you may have hardware problems such that the PCI ID is reported incorrectly. To test this, please provide the output of the command
lspci -nn | grep Network for the "good" and "bad" case. Larry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
