Description of problem: ath5k isn't auto modprobed at boot, it works like charm after modprobing manually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.27-0.244.rc2.git1 wireless module: ar5bxb63
This doesn't seem like a kernel problem to me.
lspci output?
latest rawhide kernels fix the issue, now ath5k working and automatically modprobed
