Hi. I just installed compat-wireless 2008-05-24.
The good news is that ath5k now loads into the kernel and can talk to the
chip. However, beyond that, the device doesn't do anything. During modprobe
ath5k, I get
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64
ath5k_pci 0000:03:00.0: registered as 'phy1'
phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
ath5k phy1: Atheros AR5424 chip found (MAC: 0xa3, PHY: 0x61)
udev: renamed network interface wlan0 to ath0
The pci id for the chip is 168c:1014 (rev 01). This is an IBM Thinkpad T60p,
running Debian testing with kernel 2.6.25-2-686, the latest dist kernel available.
When I try to bring up the interface I just get a link is not ready message in
the kernel log with no other info. Also, iwlist ath0 scan gives me no results
either (I did ifconfig ath0 up beforehand).
Let me know if there's any further diagnosis I can provide to help out.
Thanks,
Jerry

Mike, thanks for pointing me to the updated ath_info.
Here's the dump from my chip:

Hmm, I get the "Invalid EEPROM" from ath_info as well, but it works
here (same MAC/PHY revisions, different device id and different
regulatory domain). I guess I'm lucky...

You might wish to post the results of running the ath_info tool
available from the madwifi project (sorry, I don't have the URL handy).

If I understand correctly, it means that your device uses a new EEPROM
layout that hasn't been reverse engineered yet. Most of the remaining
data cannot be trusted. It's not surprising that your device is not
working with ath5k.
