[ath9k-devel] AR5008 - failed to initialize device

Hi!
I cannot make kernel 2.6.33 work with the "D-Link DWA-547" PCI card. Details 
follow.

dmesg:

That's a chip test failure.

As you can see in the list archives, Atheros based D-Link devices are
notoriously unreliable.  You may want to increase PCI latency in BIOS
settings (if you are lucky to have that option) or try the card on
another system.

        I have just got a  "D-Link DWA-547" PCI Card, I tested it in the 
OpenSUSE 11.2 with  kernel 2.6.31. At first, the "network setting" cannot 
recognize it, and the ath9k doesnot work. By using lspci, I found the chip 
in the "D-Link DWA-547" was AR922X, not AR5008(AR5416+AR2133), and it was 
not included in the ath9k supported chipsets.

        Fortunately, after several times install and reboot, it finally 
works. Just magic.

Inserting the card into another PCI slot helped. Thank you for the advice.
