But the more important question is how you managed to compile compat-wireless for ar9170 on a 2.6.28 kernel, we enable it on compat-wireless only for kernels >= 2.6.29. Here is the config.mk excerpt: ifndef CONFIG_COMPAT_WIRELESS_28 CONFIG_AR9170_USB=m CONFIG_AR9170_LEDS=y endif That is -- if you don't need 2.6.28 compat stuff enable ar9170. Also 2.6.28 does not have CONFIG_AR9170_USB.. hmm. How did you compile this?
