Hi,
I am having trouble getting my atheros AR928X wifi card recognized on my
laptop. I have downloaded the arn driver and installed it, but it fails to
attach. The drivers utility tells me that my AR928X has a driver installed but
that it is mis-configured.
I checked the /var/adm/messages file and it states that there is a problem with
sharing IRQ 17 (which both my atheros card and my USB controller share). But
the message is a warning rather than an error, and I do not know whether this
is responsible for the failure of the installation. Here is the result of lspci
-vv on these two devices in case this may help resolve the problem.
