Subject: compat-2.6: ath9k driver
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:24:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48AF209A.4080805@symas.com> (raw)
I just got a new HP dv5z laptop with a/b/g/n wifi adapter; it claims to be an
AR5009. Googling for the PCI ID (0x002a) matched it up with AR9280, which led
me to the ath9k driver. It's not currently provided with the compat-2.6 tree
but I pulled a copy from the wireless-testing branch and added it to my compat
tree.
It needed 3-4 definitions to be added to <linux/list.h> but otherwise compiled
OK and it's now working fine for me in 2.6.26.3. Did you already have plans to
include this driver, should I post my diffs?
