Hi All,
i tried to patch the Kernel to get the ATH5k Driver to work but without
success.
It seems i miss some scripts like check.sh
Anybody knows how to get my Problem solved?
bye Markus

just don't use this option then...
git clone \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git
cd wireless-2.6
git checkout -b everything origin/everything
-> exactly like its documented in
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k#Hackingath5k
i know, git can appear overwhelming in the beginnig, but its rather easy once
you get used to it. if you have known subversion before this document gets
you started: http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html
anyhow you should read the instructions...
good luck,
bruno

Do you mean it will fetch the whole Kernel Sources, with the
linux-wireless Sources?

I did what you said, but in the "make menuconfig" do not appear the Option,
<M> Atheros 5xxx wireless cards support
Maybe there is some Option Missing?
Here is what i did,
1.) cd /usr/src
2.) git-clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git
3.)cd wireless-2.6
4.)git checkout -b everything origin/everything
5.)make menuconfig
6.)
Networking --->
Wireless --->
<M> Improved wireless configuration API
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
Any Idea?

Shouldn't you be on "everything" ?
I'm using:
rm -rf wireless-2.6
git clone --reference /usr/src/linux-git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git
cd wireless-2.6
git checkout -b everything origin/everything

I do not find the Entry,
<M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)
in the ".config" File.
And i do not find any files in the Sources containig ATH5k?
What is the Name of the Docu File? Or the Source Code File?

001c wont work anyway it uses the newer 5.3 EEPROM that we don't yet support ;-(

Have i to change the dir to /usr/src/linux before i do this above?
After this steps above do i have to activate the ath5k in the "make
menuconfig"?

config ATH5K
tristate "Atheros 5xxx wireless cards support"
depends on PCI && MAC80211 && WLAN_80211 && EXPERIMENTAL
Did you select EXPERIMENTAL?

Yes, it will.
If you already have a linux source tree in the form of a
git-repository, you can speed up the cloning tremenduously by
using "--reference". See "git clone --help"
or "git-clone --help".
hi markus!
use git!
git-clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git
cd wireless-2.6
git checkout -b everything origin/everything

Also, if you do:
git-branch
what do you get?

nope. just check it out into any directory - this will fetch the current
2.6.23-rc9 with the latest wireless developments.

sure. and don't expect too much ;) - the driver is under heavy development and
pretty new.

No Problem. Is there a need for Debugging? I would send you the debug.
So maybe in the future it will work.

Sorry i forgot to say that i am using the kernel Source 2.6.23-rc8 and
wanna patch this with a Andrew Morton Patch,
2.6.23-rc8-mm1
2.6.23-rc8-mm2
Can anybody write what i have to do?
I am on Debian Etch. I have got an Atheros Wlan Chip with the ID
168c:001c (rev 01).
Thank you and

I mean did you answer "y" to this:
Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (EXPERIMENTAL) [Y/n/?]
How about this?
Wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11) (WLAN_80211) [Y/n/?]
And either "y" or "m" to this?
Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) (MAC80211 [M/n/y/?]
Answering "n" to any of those will hide ATH5K from your choices.
Hth!

That procedure works fine here. I don't know what mistake you
are making. Did you perhaps checkout one tree inside another?
John
P.S. Make sure you select PCI in your config as well...
