I am available to test things, if directed. I think I am less skilled
than Geoffrey, but I have one of these cards here, and I am willing to
test. Loading the driver in 2.6.26-rc5 I have:
[ 1632.847611] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:06:00.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) ->
IRQ 19
[ 1632.847611] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:06:00.0 to 64
[ 1632.847611] ath5k_pci 0000:06:00.0: registered as 'phy0'
[ 1632.852536] ath5k phy0: Support for RF2425 is under development.
[ 1632.892541] PM: Adding info for No Bus:phy0
[ 1632.893937] PM: Adding info for No Bus:wmaster0
[ 1632.899612] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
[ 1633.053785] PM: Adding info for No Bus:wlan0
[ 1633.056749] ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2425 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70)
But that no scan results are available, and trying to connect gives:
wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801
(although I think this is the wpa_supplicant side).
HTH,
Romano
