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? I also have AR5006EG on my new laptop (Toshiba Satellite A135-S7404) # lspci | grep -i ath 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) Just installed kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8 and now I can't even see wlan0 in iwconfig # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. In the original kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8, at least I was able to see wlan0 in iwconfig. I have an interesting new Information. Just a curiocity, I installed back the orignial factory image (Win Vista Home) for Toshiba Satellite A135-S1704. When I opened Device Manager, it reports I have Atheros AR5007EG not AR5006EG as reported in Linux side. I'm not sure which is correct. Assuming the Windows's report is correct then it seems we have a bug in the utility or incorrect database for this wireless device. Alexandre and Thomas - It would be helpful if you could attach the output of lspci -n to verify what PCI ID's are there. Also, if you could both provide dmidecode output (please attach both of these items as separate text/plain attachments), that would be very useful. If I don't hear back in one month, I'll close this bug INSUFFICIENT_DATA Created attachment 291958 [details]

FYI, I'm using madwifi instead of ath5k to get the support for Atheros AR5007EG chipset[1] on F8 with kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 [1] http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility/Atheros#AtherosAR5007EG |
