Please check with modinfo any options to switch off (e.g. QoS, or power management) when you're loading the module. modinfo only gives me this options # modinfo -F parm ath9k btcoex_enable:Enable wifi-BT coexistence blink:Enable LED blink on activity nohwcrypt:Disable hardware encryption debug:Debugging mask but I will try and see if debug shows something that helps. Thx for the tip, modinfo was new to me. Greetings Sebastian Beßler signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I ask since my iwlagn wireless car does, and if I boot using an initramfs, I need to include the firmware file on it for the card to work. No the card need no firmware. I start my PC in the morning after it was shutdown for a few hours and the card will not work. I then reboot without changing or doing anything else and the card works just fine. I get no error modprobing the driver in both cases, but only after a reboot wlan0 gets created. Greetings Sebastian Beßler signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
