Here's the lspci for the SR71-A that doesn't work with ath9k:

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless
Network Adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. Device ee1c

... ee1c? Err, that isn't right. Not by a very, very long shot.

What board are you putting this into?

From FreeBSD on a RSPRO (ar71xx mips):

ath0@pci0:0:17:0: class=0x028000 card=0x40820777 chip=0x0027168c
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
class = network

That definitely, positively is the same AC1A revision that you have.
It even does 11n(ag) too. Honest. I've seen it. :-)

This and the previous AR93xx "0xabcd" device id post is starting to
sound a lot like something's not waking up the PCI bus and/or chip
"right" in order to get the PCI vendor id init'ed from the EEPROM..

Well, I put in one NIC, it works fine, I put in the other, and it doesn't.

Same system, reproducible on other systems from same manufacturer
(Lanner, LEC 2010E).

Haven't tried it on a totally different motherboard. I'll send you this
broken NIC if you want...I'm too tight on time to hack on it now...

So, you were right.  I put this NIC in another system (VIA C3) and it comes up
as AR9160 and loads ath9k driver just fine.

00:0c.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9160 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Device 0777:4082
	Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 18
	Memory at f6000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
	Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: ath9k
	Kernel modules: ath9k

Thanks,
Ben
