[ath9k-devel] AR9271 chipset USB Support

[Sajid Ansari]

Hi,

 

I am not a developer, only a ubuntu user.

Any way to support Athros AR9271 USB support on Ubuntu.

I have downloaded and updated Ubunto but not working.

Can you please let me know the steps to do for making it working under
UIbunto 9.10.

 

Thanks and Regards

Nice timing!  Support for AR9271 was committed today.  The current
compat-wireless doesn't have AR9271 yet, but hopefully the today's
snapshot have it.

Look at http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ and get
compat-wireless-2010-03-24.tar.bz2 when it appears there (the latest
snapshot is always recommended).

You can find more information about compat-wireless at
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download

Please don't write to ath9k-devel-bounces at lists.ath9k.org, it's an

This might take +1 or +2 days more since bleeding edge compat-wireless
sucks thing out of linux-next. I'll reply to this post once it does
hit linux-next.

Hi Pavel,

Can I ask you a question?
Is there Linux driver for AR9223 chipset?

Thank you very much.

Hi Luis?

Yes I tried it.

My problem is when I try to make the driver I got errors.
1. One of my desktop is using Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28. I installed my
wireless Adapter of AR9223 chipset, the Ubuntu can recognize it without
installing further driver.

2. Another desktop is using Debian 5 (Lenny), kernel 2.6.26, so I need to
download driver and install it, but I got errors when I make the driver
code.
I did the following steps:
Download the latest compat-wireless-2.6.
(log on root)
Apt-get install build-essential 
Apt-get install Linux-headers-$
./scripts/driver-select ath9k
Make (I can't make it, I got errors, always. In fact I have never been able
to install compat-wireless driver on my Ubuntu too, once I tried to install
ath9k_htc for my AR9271, but I can't do it.)

Warren, these compile errors are due to some new patches introduced
into linux-next which have not yet been backported. So if you give it
a few days we'll eventually fix this.

But isn't it already in linux-next ? I tried using module from git but with no success. I'm not a developer so I don't know if what I was doing was right. I've added 0x1006 to hif_usb.c so that my card would be recognized but after loading firmware I got this

More patches for ath9k_htc were posted today.  At least one of them
fixes initialization failure:
