Three questions arise: Are the pci ids quoted above recognised as needing ath5k? Is the WLP-01 really ath5k/really have those ids? The distro I'm using (fedora 11) has 2.6.29 -- will the relevant modules build for that, or would I have to build a whole 2.6.31? Thanks. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk
