[ath9k-devel] Manually loading ath9k driver

[Jean Philippe Deblois <jp.deblois@ungava-tech.com>]

Hi i'm currently trying to make the ath9k working on a ppc platform and
have some trouble doing it.

Here what i did :

I downloaded the Compat-wireless package and cros-compile it for my
platform

as my modules.dep was not updated i manualy inserted module like this

insmod ieee80211_crypt.ko
?insmod ieee80211_crypt_wep.ko
insmod cfg80211.ko
insmod mac80211.ko
and finally insmod ath9k.ko

thing seem to load fine .. here's my dmesg output :

[  103.799212] ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
[  110.496286] ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack,

'ath9k_rate_control'
[  192.868764] phy0: Failed to initialize wep

but after that i just don't know what to do i don't have any wlan0 in my
iwconfig ... is there something else i need to do ???
