That would sort out that the TI-Controller is broken. > But there is more likely something wrong with the PCI-setup. I can guarantee that the controller isn't broken. Before I installed the Gentoo (that is running on the laptop now) I installed my old Windows XP to look whether the hardware is broken. But therewith I could get It to work both with the original Atheros 5xxx driver and with the driver CD Proxim shipped with this card. So I'am sure, that exacly this card could work on this socket. I don't know if it's permissible with the license issues, but If you think those information could help, I'll try to install it again and get those with the devicemanager. This would take some time, but I could do it... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
