There are some ath5k updates in the kernels here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=21169 YMMV, I get an (apparently) different oops now... Do these kernels make a difference for you? No difference. The card is found but can't see anything (e.g. iwlist ath0 scan fails to find anything) FYI, info on how to help the ath5k reverse engineering team: http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=119282415503974&w=2 Lots of ath5k updates in kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8...does that work any better for you? Not really. This is what I see in dmesg: ath5k_hw_nic_wakeup: failed to resume the MAC Chip ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -5 and I don't see the device at all (I used to see it to some extent before). Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Yes, the problem still persists. I believe that the ath5k kernel driver is not quite ready yet and that's why there the driver does not work on mac book pros. |
