compat-2.6: ath9k driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I just got a new HP dv5z laptop with a/b/g/n wifi adapter; it claims to be an AR5009. Googling for the PCI ID (0x002a) matched it up with AR9280, which led me to the ath9k driver. It's not currently provided with the compat-2.6 tree but I pulled a copy from the wireless-testing branch and added it to my compat tree.

It needed 3-4 definitions to be added to <linux/list.h> but otherwise compiled OK and it's now working fine for me in 2.6.26.3. Did you already have plans to include this driver, should I post my diffs?
