Umh, could you try a non-ath5k AP to be sure it's not a symmetric thing? > Can you check if WPA1 (TKIP) works or not? Tried WPA/TKIP and even WEP40, all show the same effect.

Long story. I have another module from a different vendor which has behaved the same so far (except it has the 11a bit set). Think I'll revisit that. > Maybe there is something in the EEPROM which disables encryption, too. There > is a flag for this: ATH_CRYPT_CAP_CIPHER_AESCCM.

But info word #9 is zero in the EEPROM, and a printk reveals that common->crypt_caps ends up 0x03. > > What are the numerical PCI IDs of your device? > > Maybe detection is sent down the wrong track because of other IDs? > > It is (lspci -vn) > > 00:0f.0 0200: 168c:001b (rev 01) > Subsystem: 168c:2062 > Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 168, IRQ 5 > Memory at a0020000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] > Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 > Kernel driver in use: ath5k > Kernel modules: ath5k > > But I don't think it makes a big difference.
