Hi,
a person asked on IRC about ath9k_htc support.
First question:
Has the patch from [1] already entered one of the wireless-* GIT repositories?
I could apply the ath9k_htc patch against 2.6.34-rc1-git9.
The kernel config parameters in wiki [2] seems to be wrong to me:
CONFIG_ATH=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m
Checking here:
$ grep CONFIG_ATH .config
CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m
# CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_ATH5K=m
# CONFIG_ATH5K_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K=m
# CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS is not set
CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m
# CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC_DEBUGFS is not set
Should CONFIG_ATH=m be replaced by one/both of these ones?
$ grep CONFIG_ATH .config | grep COMMON
CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m
CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m
File drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig says:
...
config ATH9K_HTC
tristate "Atheros HTC based wireless cards support"
depends on USB && MAC80211
select ATH9K_HW
select MAC80211_LEDS
select LEDS_CLASS
select NEW_LEDS
---help---
Support for Atheros HTC based cards.
Chipsets supported: AR9271
For more information: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc
The built module will be ath9k_htc.
...
Maybe the confusion results from drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig:
menuconfig ATH_COMMON
tristate "Atheros Wireless Cards"
...
IMHO setting CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m and CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m should be enough.
Who can clarify?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
