The network-manager is deinstalled on both laptops. There are two TL-WN721N cards both work on one laptop but not on the other.

That should be an easy fix. The original message was clear that the firmware file was available and globally readable: /lib/firmware$ ls -la ar*.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51280 2010-07-15 08:51 ar9271.fw I assume that ath9k_htc comes from linux-backport-modules (compat-wireless packaged by Ubuntu). Then please check that it doesn't have a bug fixed by this commit to the compat repository: commit 524449c0184d44773d4947db8cd3bfd98a0a215f Author: Grazvydas Ignotas Date: Thu Apr 22 16:54:02 2010 +0300 compat: fix uevent_suppress on 2.6.29 or older kernels Missing uevent_suppress is causing two uevents instead of one, which is confusing udev and sometimes causing firmware load to fail due to race condition, so let's add it. Since it's a race condition, it can explain why the same driver works on one system but not on another one. Please also check commit 8eca4cf0648fad100bd44a0779328f13e6b7d4ca from April 28, 2010, also to "compat". It updates the firmware loading code and adds further cleanups. You can check if dev_set_uevent_suppress() is defined in compat-2.6.30.h. If it's not, you are using an old version of compat-wireless for the backport package and it should be updated. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel at lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
