I put a ath5k card into the same machine and tried with the same compat-wireless modules. Surprise, surprise: no problems... The affected device works fine with the current wireless-testing(pulled today) and a vanilla 2.6.31.6 + compat-wireless (from today's git). I've no idea what voodoo is going on here, maybe there is something wrong in compat-wireless pci glue code (if there's any?!) > Its not clear what version of stable compat-wireless you've tried. > Does compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc6 exhibit the same problem? "compiled from git", which should be compat-wireless-2009-11-12.tar.bz2 and therefore -rc6.
