From: Sedat Dilek To: wireless Cc: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi, a person asked on IRC about ath9k_htc support. First question: Has the patch from [1] already entered one of the wireless-* GIT repositories? I could apply the ath9k_htc patch against 2.6.34-rc1-git9. The kernel config parameters in wiki [2] seems to be wrong to me: CONFIG_ATH=m CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m Checking here: $ grep CONFIG_ATH .config CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m # CONFIG_ATH_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_ATH5K=m # CONFIG_ATH5K_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m CONFIG_ATH9K=m # CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS is not set CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m # CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC_DEBUGFS is not set Should CONFIG_ATH=m be replaced by one/both of these ones? $ grep CONFIG_ATH .config | grep COMMON CONFIG_ATH_COMMON=m CONFIG_ATH9K_COMMON=m File drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/Kconfig says: ... config ATH9K_HTC tristate "Atheros HTC based wireless cards support" depends on USB && MAC80211 select ATH9K_HW select MAC80211_LEDS select LEDS_CLASS select NEW_LEDS ---help--- Support for Atheros HTC based cards. Chipsets supported: AR9271 For more information: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc The built module will be ath9k_htc. ... Maybe the confusion results from drivers/net/wireless/ath/Kconfig: menuconfig ATH_COMMON tristate "Atheros Wireless Cards" ... IMHO setting CONFIG_ATH9K_HW=m and CONFIG_ATH9K_HTC=m should be enough. Who can clarify? Thanks in advance.
