Hi, I'm trying to sort out a problem with the ath5k module not loading on a ThinkPad T42. I'm using the current Debian testing kernel (2.6.26) on i686. Detail of the PCI bus configuration of this machine can be found here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510591 The Debian developer in charge of handling this suggested contacting you for more information. Can anyone make any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your time and for the great driver (once loaded it works fantastically).

Once manually loaded it works fine. I've looked into the git commits against drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c, but it's not entirely clear to me, which specific information needs to be registered, it could either be the PHY which isn't detected or the SREV (whatever that may be :-). Also the code has been reshuffled, so it's hard to tell w/o more in depth knowhow on ath5k. Could you forward your mail to the ath5k devs at ath5k-de...@lists.ath5k.org? If they can provide an isolated 2.6.26 backport we can apply it to the 2.6.26-13 kernel upload or add it to a point update later.
