Hmm, I don't know if it matters, but you were creating it as a managed interface. Anyway I don't believe ath5k supports that yet - ath9k might. Someone on ath5k-devel was porting the ath9k virtual wiphy stuff to ath5k but I haven't heard anything recently. > But, if you think there's still a doubt, what to look for in the modinfo? If it says "depends: mac80211,cfg80211,ath" then it is probably the right one. It just sounds like this bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12315 The fix was merged after 2.6.30, IIRC, but it should definitely be in compat-wireless. Also check your modules directory for an old ath5k.ko sitting in drivers/.../wireless/ath5k. It should now be in ath/ath5k.
