Hi, I am running compat-wireless 3.0-rc4-1 on an Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) system with Ubuntu kernel version 2.6.24-21-generic. Yes, I know this kernel version is ancient, but that's what c-w is for, right? ;) First, I should mention that had to apply this patch for c-w to build: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/72402 I also ran into problems because the c-w Makefile installs the udev compat_firmware rules file into /lib/udev/rules.d, which is not a supported location on Hardy. Moving the rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d solved that. Now the module loads fine and appears to load the firmware correctly, but the interface never comes up. Here's what happens when I insert the device: [ 206.270348] usb 5-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 [ 206.422393] usb 5-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 206.657723] Compat-wireless backport release: compat-wireless-v3.0-rc4-1 [ 206.657732] Backport based on linux-2.6-allstable.git v3.0-rc4 [ 206.864667] Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain [ 207.714633] usb 5-7: ath9k_htc: Transferred FW: htc_9271.fw, size: 51288 [ 207.861037] ath9k_htc 5-7:1.0: ath9k_htc: HTC initialized with 33 credits At this point the interface is not visible in the output of ifconfig. Something has gone wrong with USB, because lsusb hangs until I unplug the device, at which point I see the following in dmesg: [ 225.464212] usb 5-7: USB disconnect, address 5 [ 225.592282] ath: Reading Magic # failed [ 225.592310] ath: no band has been marked as supported in EEPROM [ 225.592315] ath: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -22 [ 225.592321] ath: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -22 [ 225.592336] Failed to initialize the device [ 225.592400] ath9k_htc: probe of 5-7:1.0 failed with error -22 [ 225.712249] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_htc There are several variations on this depending on how long I leave the device plugged in. Eventually lsusb runs fine in some cases, and I have seen the interface come up once, but I did not test functionality and I haven't been able to easily repeat that scenario. What can I do to debug?
