Description of problem: since some kernel version atheros wifi card do not woks as expected. Currently the system is able to list some wifi around this computer but it can not etablish a connection with them! --------- WIFI Card Information --------- 01:06.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) Subsystem: D-Link System Inc Device 3a6b Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 168, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21 Region 0: Memory at fbcf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: ath9k Kernel modules: ath9k ------------------------------------------ Version-Release number of selected component: - I use currently kernel 3.2.1-4 take from koji same result with kernel 3.1-x How reproducible: just boot
in more this do not works: # athmem=`lspci -vd 168c: |sed -n 's/.*Memory at \([^ ]*\).*/0x\1/p'` # echo $athmem 0xfbcf0000 # ath_info $athmem sleep_ctl reg 000005df reset_ctl reg 00000000 -==Device Information==- MAC Revision: ????? (0xda) Unable to read EEPROM Magic value!
I am told that the device in question is an ath9k device. That probably explains why ath_info doesn't work... :-)
oh ok i was think is a genereic tool for atheros wifi card, sorry.

Maybe you're hitting this regression: c1afdaff90538ef085b756454f12b29575411214 upstream kernel ath9k: fix going to full-sleep on PS idle
Test kernel w/ the revert building here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3980617 Please give that a try and post the results here...thanks!
we can close now as all works
