Subject: What kind of Atheros device is this?

On the openSUSE forum, one of the posters got this output from lspci -nnk:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Atheros Communications Inc. Device
[168c:002c] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Device [1a3b:1112]

I did not find these PCI IDs for any device in wireless or staging. What is it,
and what driver should it use?

Thanks,

Larry

Havem them try something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/pci.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/pci.c

Was there a driver in Linux for this device that has been removed? The OP on the
openSUSE Forum claims that it "used to work".
