It switches between AR9285 ( right) and AR5008 ( wrong). Someone suggested that this is because another kernel module is loaded by mistake. Well, it is not the case. When system identified with AR9285, it loads ath9k and I can connect to the router. When system identifies my card as AR5008, no kernel module is present at all ( lspci -k). The wrong card name occurs only when system rebooted. If I gracefully shut down the system, it always comes up with a right name for the card ( AR9285). So, how to force the system identify my card right no matter if I reboot or shut down? Thank you.
