From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20080325 Red Hat/1.5.0.12-14.el5_1 Firefox/1.5.0.12 Description of problem: I have a HP Pavillion DV9700 Notebook with an Atheros AR5007EG card (Displayed as AR5006EG, which according to most forums is false). When I try to load the ath5k module which at least loaded the wlan0 interface with the default Fedora core on the FC8-x86_64 disk, I get that this device is not supported. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.24.4-64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to latest version of Fedora 8 2. Run ifconfig -a 3. Notice that no wlan0 or ath0 is created 4. run modprobe ath5k 5. Notice the errors in dmesg. Actual Results: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LK4E] enabled at IRQ 19 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> Link [LK4E] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64 ath5k_pci 0000:03:00.0: registered as 'phy0' ath5k phy0: Device not yet supported. ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled Expected Results: I should be able to get on the internet and surf the tubes. Additional info: I also tried madwifi to get this to work and that pretty much failed. I even sucked it up and attempted ndiswrappers, as you can guess from me opening this ticket. That failed as well.
Here is an lspci -vvv of the device for more information. Let me know if I can provide anything else. Also I included the url to the madwifi ticket as they seem to be working on the issue as well. But I would rather use a redhat kernel module instead of a madwifi module or ndiswrappers. 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.

I am getting the same problem. Keep saying the wlan0 link not ready. I am have an Acer 7520 with the Atheros AR5006EG 802.11 b/g wireless PCI Express adaptor also. I have tried madwifi and ndiswrapper. Keep getting the same error and no wirless.
I am also getting the same error on an Acer 4520 with the same wireless.
