Well, there is a gpio on the card that, if enabled, engages rfkill. Some people seem to be in the unfortunate state where that is the default for them, in which case they need CONFIG_RFKILL plus the 'rfkill' utility to turn it off. It may be good to try that anyway just to discard that as a possibility. I believe there is a link to the rfkill utility on: http://wireless.kernel.org/ I don't have any gear with rfkill switches so I'm honestly not a whole lot of help in that area. > If it's to any help, the system is a small embedded platform (ARM big-endian) > running a openEmbedded linux dist.

ISTR someone else was using that platform with ath5k. But there could well be endianness issues in the driver, it doesn't get as much testing as on intel LE. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
