I can't get ath5k to load. This is on openwrt, so I cross compiled, setting KLIB, KLIB_BUILD, CC, and LD when I did the compat-wireless make.
I'm using compat-wireless-2008-06-13, and my network card is a Ubiquiti XR2, AR5414 based, which lspci reports as: 00:0c.0 Class 0200: Unknown device 168c:001b (rev 01) This device more or less works with madwifi, but I wanted to try ath5k. I grabbed a number of modules from compat-wireless directory, and did insmod in this order: crypto_algapi arc4 cfg80211 (obtained from compat-wireless, not kernel) mac80211 (obtained from compat-wireless, not kernel) ieee80211_crypt ieee80211_crypt_ccmp ieee80211_crypt_tkip ieee80211_crypt_wep ieee80211 ath5k When I finally insmod ath5k, I get this in dmesg: ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'CCMP' ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'TKIP' ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'WEP' ieee80211: 802.11 data/management/control stack, git-1.1.13 ieee80211: Copyright (C) 2004-2005 Intel Corporation <author's email address> ath5k_pci 0000:00:0c.0: registered as 'phy1' phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid' phy1: Failed to initialize wep ath5k phy1: can't register ieee80211 hw ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:00:0c.0 failed with error -12After some more research, I found out that the fix for "Failed to initialize wep" and error -12 is to compile mac80211 and cfg80211 into the kernel, not as modules, but when I do that, ieee80211_frequency_to_channel doesn't resolve (required by ath5k). I can't find it in my 2.6.24 kernel tree, and I found a diff for the 2.6.25 kernel that might introduce it. The compat-wireless version provides it, but as I'm now compiling *80211 into the kernel, I'm seeing the error.
Could I get a confirmation on compiling *80211 into the kernel as the fix? Is there a way I can avoid this?
