This is the right place for ath5k related things, but since you are running a custom emdebian kernel nobody here knows what's going on with that kernel (addition patches, which compat-wireless version etc...). You could try to ask on the emdebian mailinglists or whatever they use. You can also try a wireless-testing kernel or a recent compat-wireless package and report back here. Also maybe nobody has the answer or time to look at this. bruno > Thanks! > > On 4 December 2010 15:09, Mark Williams <m...@mwp.id.au> wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I have an eeePC with the "Atheros Communications Inc.
