Subject: did my hardware die?

Does it mean my hardware died since dmesg shows nothing related to ath?

# dmesg | grep ath

# lspci
02:09.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless
Network Adapter (rev 01)

Kernel 3.6.36.4 sees the hardware:

ath9k 0000:02:08.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKA] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x10
ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map
ath: Country alpha2 being used: CO
ath: Regpair used: 0x10
ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control'
Registered led device: ath9k-phy0

Kernel-3.0.4 does not.

What are the PCI ID's for that device? That comes from 'lspci -nn'.

What is the source of your 3.0.4 kernel?

I recompiled 3.0.4 and it works.
I took out ath9k debugging (and maybe other stuff) and put it back.
I got the kernel directly from kernel.org a while ago.
