[ath9k-devel] Connecting AR9390 to Lantiq board

[ath9k-devel] Connecting AR9390 to Lantiq board

[Ana Elisa de Campos Lobo]

Hi all,
I?m completely newbie in Linux drivers. In my project we are planning to connect an AR9390 Atheros chip on a GRX288 Lantiq board. This board has a software framework (UGW 5.2) which is based on Linux kernel 2.6.32.42 version and OpenWrt Backfire 10.03. 
I have some initial questions:
*	Does ATH9K driver support AR9390 chipset?
*	Which Linux kernel version is necessary to support AR9390 chipset? I didn?t find this chipset on the ATH9K driver site (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k), but according to the site AR9380 requires a Kernel version greater than 2.6.36.
*	Does anybody tried to connect AR9390 to a Lantiq board based on UGW software?
Best regards,
Ana

[ath9k-devel] Connecting AR9390 to Lantiq board

[Daniel Golle]

Hi Ana,

OpenWrt doesn't use the mac80211 driver release built-into the kernel. So all
you need to do is to make sure the mac80211 package containing the ath9k driver
is a recent enough version, and that which still work well even on Linux 2.6.32.

Good luck!

[ath9k-devel] Connecting AR9390 to Lantiq board

[Ana Elisa de Campos Lobo]

Daniel and Mohammed,
Thank you for your answers.
I?ve just configured UGW 5.2 to enable ATH9K into mac80211.
Although, I still have an important question:

Which kernel version do I need to have a version of ATH9K driver that  supports chipset AR9390?  I didn?t find this answer in ATH9K developer?s site (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k). I understood I?ll need to install a compatibility package in order to have the correct version of the driver running on my board, so I need to know the correct version of ATH9K that supports that chipset.
Could you help me, please?

Thanks and regards,
Ana

[ath9k-devel] RES: Connecting AR9390 to Lantiq board

[Ana Elisa de Campos Lobo]

Hi folks!
I enabled the mac80211 package into kernel but I was not successful so far.
I?d like to be sure I?m using the correct package. I?m using compat-wireless-2011-06-22 from OpenWrt?s site (http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/) which was the version used by Lantiq?s UGW 5.2 software.
I?d like to be sure if this version of compat-wireless supports AR9390 or not. Otherwise, I?d like the directions to change the compat-wireless for a newer version into Lantiq?s software (based on OpenWrt). 
Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks In advance and best regards,
Ana
