It works. Sorry for messing up. I have been installing more than 10 kernels ( to get the AP mode working). I use checkinstall to create a deb package of drivers. But ckeckinstall was installing the module in the module tree of an older kernel. So I used make install to install the kernel in the current active kernel module tree. And I did not get a freeze when I loaded the newer ath9k driver. Thank you very much. If you want me to test it a little more, i can do it On 12/16/11, Mohammed Shafi <shafi.wireless@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 9:33 PM, Ashwin Mendonca <ashwinloyal@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> Still it doesn't work.
