Hi. I just installed compat-wireless 2008-05-24.
The good news is that ath5k now loads into the kernel and can talk to the
chip. However, beyond that, the device doesn't do anything. During
modprobe ath5k, I get
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64
ath5k_pci 0000:03:00.0: registered as 'phy1'
phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
ath5k phy1: Atheros AR5424 chip found (MAC: 0xa3, PHY: 0x61)
udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to ath0
The pci id for the chip is 168c:1014 (rev 01). This is an IBM Thinkpad
T60p, running Debian testing with kernel 2.6.25-2-686, the latest dist
kernel available.
When I try to bring up the interface I just get a link is not ready message
in the kernel log with no other info. Also, iwlist ath0 scan gives me no
results either (I did ifconfig ath0 up beforehand).
Let me know if there's any further diagnosis I can provide to help out.
You might wish to post the results of running the ath_info tool
available from the madwifi project (sorry, I don't have the URL handy).
John
Mike, thanks for pointing me to the updated ath_info.
Here's the dump from my chip:
