When i boot my System i have to rmmod cfg80211 mac80211 ath9k + modprobe ath9k otherwise my Wlan Card (LinksysWMP300Nv2) does not 

work --the leds on my WlanCard will be turned off when wpa_supplicant is starting! After the reload the WlanCard work fine.

The goal at this problem is that in var/log/messages i have the same output as my problem with crda-0.9.5 (the second part of the 

frequences of crda isnt there).

[   21.684544] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

if i dont reload the modules "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" is the last relevant message in /var/log/messages!
if i only stop and start my /etc/init.d/net.wlan0 init script it also fails with the same output in var log message "link is not ready". 
After boot when i dont relaod cfg, mac, ath9k "iwlist channel" knows only channel 1-11. But when i am reloading cfg, mac and 
ath9k "iwlist channel" knows Channel 1-13. 

My Ap is working on Channel 12! 

Clear if he dont knows channel 12 and channel 13 he could not connect to my AP.

Is there any posibility to get it work without the relaod of cfg80211 mac80211 ath9k???

PS: I have tried the kernel from linux-wireless (wireless-testing.git 2.6.29-rc4 wow thats new!!!) but the problem was the same.

Maybe my partition layout is relevant to that problem (mounting some partition to late???) but i dont think so.
