AR9280 won't initialize

AR9280 won't initialize

[Misha Shnurapet]

Hi.

I have a little problem. I replaced the old BCM4312 card on my Dell mini 1011 (10v) with:
03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

But it won't work.

First it crashed Linux:

Then I installed a system update:

http://pastebin.com/hWG6u7VJ

And now it is:

[   30.589243] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[   30.589269] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64
[   30.594884] ath: address test failed addr: 0x00008000 - wr:0xaaaaaaaa != rd:0xaaaa2aaa
[   30.594898] ath: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -19

[   30.594991] ath9k 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled

Installing the latest stable compat-wireless from source didn't help (bleeding edge won't build).

I would appreciate if you help me.

Looks like a hardware issue to me. Try removing the card and plugging it 
back in.

this looks really wrong if the memory test itself fails, then all
those REG_READ, REG_WRITES are unreliable and this may be the reason
that your gettsf64 looks weird and hits a warning. also did you try
what Felix had suggested?
