That's compat-wireless for the original kernel shipped with Ubuntu 10.04. It means dev_set_uevent_suppress() is not called for Linux 2.6.30 and newer. 2.6.32-22.13 is also affected. 2.6.32-23.16 and 2.6.32-24.17 are not affected. It's entirely possible that the Ubuntu linux-backports-modules-wireless might have priority over compat-wireless. Also, it's possible that compat-wireless was compiled for a kernel that you are no longer running. Please make sure your system is up-to-date. That should be sufficient. If you really want to use self compiled compat-wireless, please remove linux-backports-modules-wireless if it's installed. In this case, don't forget to recompile compat-wireless every time you update the kernel. If you have further questions, please post the output of "modinfo ath9k_htc" so we know which module you are using. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
