(int) "nohwcrypt" is present in the 2.6.30 wireless-compat sources but not in the 2.6.27 drivers, so I'm pretty sure we're looking at the right ones. And the 0.6.0 version number matches ath5k/base.c in the compat-wireless sources as well. Not seeing the dependency on "ath", which is strange. Is that common code that's shared in 2.6.30 for the Atheros drivers? > The fix was merged after 2.6.30, IIRC, but it should definitely be in > compat-wireless.
