Yes, 168c:001c is served by ath5k. > Is the WLP-01 really ath5k/really have those ids? The Abit site had only one driver for WLP-01. There are references that some WLP-01 devices use Atheros chipset. Thus we conclude that all WLP-01 use Atheros chipset, or there would be more that one driver. The Atheros PCI ID is 168c. Search on Google for "WLP-01 168c" without quotes finds 001c everywhere. So it should work with ath5k. I cannot guarantee anything, but I think chances are very high. > The distro I'm using (fedora 11) has 2.6.29 -- will the relevant modules > build for that, or would I have to build a whole 2.6.31? You can build compat-wireless, which includes the latest ath5k driver backported from the wireless-testing kernel. Alternatively, you can build madwifi (be sure to use the trunk snapshot). -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- 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
