In other digging I found that PCIC=yenta_socket is preferred for Soekris boards and/or enabling the isa-pnp module. E.g. see:
http://www.freenetworks.org/pipermail/pebble-linux/2003-December/000507.html
I'm guessing this is some cardbus vs pcmcia interaction that the Atheros drivers care about.
I did try a Senao 2511CD EXT2 PCMCIA card I had and it was recognised ok. And then I tried a miniPCI based Atheros card and it worked fine too. I conclude that the general PCMCIA support and Atheros drivers are working fine. Just need to work out how to get the Atheros drivers to see an Atheros PCMCIA card.... (or give up and use the miniPCI card I have instead of the PCMCIA card I'd rather use).
I'll post the results here when I work it out!
cheers, michael

looks like there are two problems ;
follow its instructions regarding "pci=biosirq"
the next problem is "ath_pci: cannot reserve PCI memory region" you need to reserve some memory for this card. add 'append="reserve=0xd3405fff,0x2000" ' to lilo.conf
Please note, the above location WILL be incorrect. Read the error carefully and you will see the correct address to use.
best of luck! Steve

I'm having trouble getting a PCMCIA card recognised as an Atheros card. I'm using the image file wisp-dist_1.3.1p33_img.bin in a Soekris 4511.
The results of cardctl ident are:
Socket 0:
product info: "Proxim, Corp.", "802.11a Wireless CardBus Adapter.", "CIS REV 1
.2", "Copyright 2002"
manfid: 0x0126, 0x0007
function: 6 (network)
PCI id: 0x168c, 0x0007
If I do a 'modprobe ath_pci', I get:
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.25: No such file or directory
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device . Please try using pci=biosirq.
Using /modules/aath_pci: cache line size not set; forcing 4
th_pci.o
ath_pci: cannot reserve PCI memory region
ath_pci: No devices found, driver not installed.
insmod: init_module: ath_pci: No such device
I get the same results with a different (newer) 802.11a PCMCIA card (though a different cartctl output).
Any clues please?
thx, michael
