Hi, I have a ubiquiti sr71-usb wireless adapter, 'lsusb' shows it as: 'Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9170 802.11n', the adapter works with the ar9170.fw firmware but I'm trying to make it work with the carl9170.fw, until now I have tried the following: I have put the carl9170.fw in /lib/firmware (debian default for firmware files) without the ar9170.fw, dmesg shows that the system its looking for a firmware with the exact name as 'ar9170.fw' or if it doesn't find that one it tries to finds the legacy ones(ar9170-1.fw & ar9170-2.fw), so it ignores carl9170.fw because is not named ar9170.fw, changing the name of carl9170.fw to ar9170.fw shows the following: dmesg | grep 9170 [ 2.329719] usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0cf3, idProduct=9170 [ 8.817173] usb 2-2: firmware: requesting ar9170.fw [ 9.862192] ar9170usb: probe of 2-2:1.0 failed with error -110 [ 9.862227] usbcore: registered new interface driver ar9170usb The kernel is debian stock one:Linux laptop 2.6.32-5-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 10 16:12:40 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Any ideas how can I make carl9170.fw work in debian squeeze?
