Hi,

Thanks Luis and also thanks Pavel for the using of ARCH argument.

I've sucessfully compiled the ath9k with the 2.6 rc5 given by Luis.
However, I encounter some dependency problem when running the ath.ko,
cfg80211.ko and rfkill_backport.ko (May see the log message at the end of
this email)
At the same time, I contacted Freescale for support, they recommended me
to use the latest trunk in OpenWrt which they had uploaded a patch for
MPC8377 instead of using the LTIB. Since OpenWrt using a newer 2.6.32
kernel (ath9k inclusive) which I may get better support for the
development.
Moreover, I found that the lacking of libnl and consequently the iw in
LTIB causes difficulties in the use of ath9k. Therefore, my focus for now
will goes to building of OpenWrt for the MPC8377EWLAN. (Although get stuck
in missing of the MPC83XX selection in the building config)
Anyway, Thanks for everyone's help and the great work of ath9k.

Best regards,
Sunny
