David, have you ever seen such a thing? This kernel (2.6.34) should already have an ath5k EEPROM checksum check so the EEPROM should be valid. Lets figure this out first before digging more into this. Some more notes below though. > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.039168] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a country code > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.039188] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.039205] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x37 > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.039222] ath: Country alpha2 being used: DE > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.039237] ath: Regpair used: 0x37 > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.054155] cfg80211: World regulatory domain updated: So cfg80211 *first* starts out with the world regulatory domain by default, and then it will call CRDA for DE since your regpair mapped to 'DE'. > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.054178] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.054207] (2402000 KHz - 2472000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.054232] (2457000 KHz - 2482000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.054258] (2474000 KHz - 2494000 KHz @ 20000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.054284] (5170000 KHz - 5250000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) > May 26 12:10:37 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.054310] (5735000 KHz - 5835000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (300 mBi, 2000 mBm) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.212057] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm \'minstrel\' > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.212732] ath5k phy0: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.212732] ath5k phy0: RF5112B multiband radio found (0x36) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.212732] ath5k 0000:00:0e.0: registered as \'phy1\' > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.622592] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: DE Here is the call for 'DE' > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.688006] cfg80211: Regulatory domain changed to country: DE > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.688030] (start_freq - end_freq @ bandwidth), (max_antenna_gain, max_eirp) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.688057] (2400000 KHz - 2483500 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.688080] (5150000 KHz - 5350000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2000 mBm) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.688103] (5470000 KHz - 5725000 KHz @ 40000 KHz), (N/A, 2698 mBm) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.745694] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x8114 > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.745694] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a country code > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.745694] ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.745694] ath: country maps to regdmn code: 0x37 > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.745694] ath: Country alpha2 being used: DE > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.745694] ath: Regpair used: 0x37 > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.758662] phy1: Selected rate control algorithm \'minstrel\' > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.759383] ath5k phy1: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY: 0x43) > May 26 12:10:38 mrouter46 kernel: [ 31.759383] ath5k phy1: RF5112B multiband radio found (0x36) Do you have two cards?
