Testing ath5k driver

[Romano Giannetti <romanol@upcomillas.es>]

Hi all,

I stumbled yesterday on the compat- package and I could not resist to
test the new drivers on my laptop. (BTW, the link to the download page
on http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k is wrong).=20

I have a toshiba U305 with a Atheros chipset, marked as AR5BXB63 or
AR5007EG.

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.=
11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Askey Computer Corp. Unknown device 7128
        Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 19
        Memory at 88200000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=3D64K]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Q=
ueue=3D0/0 Enable-
        Capabilities: [60] Express Legacy Endpoint IRQ 0
        Capabilities: [90] MSI-X: Enable- Mask- TabSize=3D1
        Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting

30: 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0b 01 00 00

I have built the yesterday  compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 and after all
the step I have:=20

[  312.999107] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:06:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, lo=
w) -> IRQ 19
[  312.999141] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:06:00.0 to 64
[  312.999351] ath5k_pci 0000:06:00.0: registered as 'phy0'
[  314.048568] ath5k phy0: failed to resume the MAC Chip
[  314.048652] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:06:00.0 disabled
[  314.048674] ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -5

So... just to give you a data point. I am available to test things. The
wireless works ok[*] with ndiswrapper and XP drivers for AR5008.

Romano

[*] Well, if I do not try to load ath5k modules. After that, and after
unload it and all of the dependent modules, trying to load ndiswrapper
again put the laptop in brick mode. But that's another story, I know.=20
