@David Bensimon I had the same problem, including the "failed to wakeup the MAC Chip" message.
I discovered that I had the proprietary Atheros driver enabled in Hardware Drivers. I saw from the log that its ath_pci was starting before ath5k. When I disabled the proprietary driver in System->Hardware Drivers and rebooted, (or when I blacklisted ath_pci and ath_hal in a new file in /etc/modprobe.d), ath_pci didn't start and ath5k gave no error and, indeed, worked. Have you tried that? -- ath5k driver on Jaunty Alpha1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306719 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
