Sorry, this driver had been disabled in the v3.14-rcX cycle due to build issues. I've now re-enabled the ath9k-htc and it'll be in the update channel within a day.. cd /opt/scripts/tools/ git pull sudo ./update_kernel.sh (as 3.14.5-armv7-x8) https://github.com/RobertCNelson/armv7-multiplatform/commit/9fb658a6522c95c62a29f9b8da9c69f02d09d75b Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
