ath9k supports AR5008/AR5418 in kernel on ubuntu 9.04. We no longer needs madwifi upgrade.

ath9k needs to be packed in dependency of kernel version. So when Hardy upgrade to 2.6.24-20 there will be need to recompile it to a new debian package. Not a big deal, but I hope it could be inserted in the kernel some way. -- Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I believe that the existence of ath9k means that old atheros/trunk is no longer needed by anybody?

Mike: At least on my laptop, lspci reports the chipset version. I think its probably consistent across their line. I think that solution is better than none at all. Its disappointing to install an LTS and not have wireless working on your laptop. -Zac -- Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 122703] Re: Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418
I guess after more thought, I don't understand why we can't just package the madwifi/ath5k trunk and only use it for known-incompatible chipsets with the current package (or further, known compatible chipsets with the trunk package). "Oh, this is a [5008|5212|5418|etc], I'll use the trunk package, it can't be worse!" This of course assumes 1) it is easy to detect a chipset, 2) it is easy to have package logic based on chipset and 3) it actually can't be worse. Point 3 however can be mitigated by only using it for whitelisted chipsets.

Re: [Bug 122703] Re: Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418
Hm. There may be issues using the PPA service, as the HAL is a uuencoded blob. ath5k is supposed to be the way forward. -- Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 122703] Re: Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418
Thanks Zac, I added it in the description. Alexander, is there some way we could package current head and make a PPA, and call for testing? It shouldn't be impossible to get enough people to test it that we can see what regressions exist on common cards that already work, and see what new cards are supported. After initial testing and perhaps a few patches, we can put it in +1 and get further testing that way. It wouldn't necessarily be a small undertaking but, is there really a better solution, and might it not be worth it to attempt? I would not be averse to help leading this if it seems a worthy undertaking and others are interested. I don't have a great idea of how many different Atheros versions are supported, and what percentage of the non-functional ones fixed in head represent our users. As in, would this help 5% of Ubuntu users with Atheros, or 25%? Without a good idea of scope I don't know how important this bug is. -- Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: The current atheros svn trunk includes support for AR5008.

You can add Atheros 5212 to this list as well. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with the 5212 driver and had to compile the drivers from madwifi's latest svn to get my wireless card working. -- Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/122703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 122703] Re: Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418
No, this still affects 8.10. The problem is that Madwifi have been reluctant to make a release for a very long time now. Whilst packaging trunk head may bring support for MacBook Pro owners, it may also introduce regressions for otherwise stable Atheros chipsets.

[Bug 122703] Re: Upgrade Atheros drivers to snapshot/trunk to support AR5008/AR5418
Alright, so what is the goal? The 8.04.1 milestone was dropped, what about 8.04.2? The problem is that if it isn't shipped (if it just comes as an update), a lot of users won't get the update because they don't have internet access, and many people might not have access to ethernet. And is this a non-issue for Intrepid, is this is in the Intrepid kernel, or should this be targeted for 8.10 as well?

Steve: "in progress" in upstream, it seems.
