First, thanks a lot for making this available. I'm glad to know someone is working on supporting this chip in linux. Now, on to my problem. Here's the output you requested: Jun 26 22:15:01 amos kernel: wlan: 0.7.0.0 BETA (Sam Leffler <sa...@er...>) Jun 26 22:15:07 amos kernel: ath_hal: 0.9.4.0 BETA (Sam Leffler <sa...@er...>) Jun 26 22:15:34 amos kernel: ath_pci: 0.8.2.0 BETA (Sam Leffler <sa...@er...>) Jun 26 22:15:34 amos kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 02:02.0 Jun 26 22:15:34 amos kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:1d.2 Jun 26 22:15:34 amos kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 11 with 00:1f.1 Jun 26 22:15:34 amos kernel: ath0: Atheros 5211: mem=0xc0210000, irq=11 I've got a IBM Thinkpad T40 (2373-92U) with an IBM Dual Band wireless mini-pci card, manufactured by Philips, and of course using the atheros 5211 chip. pic id is 168c:0012 (rev 01) When I'm in windows, I press fn-F5, and a window comes up allowing me to turn on the wireless radio. Once I restart into linux, it's off. Pressing fn-F5 only affects bluetooth in linux, not the wireless card. Is the ability to turn this on somewhere in the driver? I played around a little with iwconfig's txpower and didn't get anything to really work. Do you have ideas, or is this something that may be included in a future version? Or is it IBM silliness and I'm out of luck? Thanks, Joel Ebel |
