I've installed the latest compat-wireless-2.6-old on Debian 2.6.26-1
i686 v2.6.26-7. I downloaded it last night Oct 13, 2008.
naga:~/compat-wireless-2.6-old# cat compat-release
v4.5-56-gcd7615b
I can build, install, and modprobe the ath5k module, giving:
Oct 14 23:31:09 naga kernel: [17974.660295] ACPI: PCI Interrupt
0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17

chip found (MAC: 0xa3, PHY: 0x61)
Oct 14 23:31:09 naga kernel: [17974.814333] udev: renamed network
interface wlan0 to ath0
When I try to ifup the interface, connecting through DHCP, I get no
connection, and in the kernel log, I just get:
Oct 5 20:32:17 naga kernel: [18042.759550] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): ath0:
link is not ready
iwlist ath0 scan works, however.
Thanks,
