Hello ppl...
About ath5k support...
First the good news:
It seems this card has the same EEPROM version as 5414/5424+ single chip
cards and we can read it and hopefully get what we want from it (EEPROM
has changed a lot on 5416/5418 so we 're lucky this card has the older
EEPROM), ignore the invalid magic number (seems they have changed it from
5aa5 to a55a -plz someone try changing the value inside ath_info.c and
retry). Also attach works ok and it has the same behaviour as 5414 on
ath5k (at least that's what i've tested). So i believe when we fix
5414/5424 support (currently working on this) we can hope this card will
work too.
And the not-so-good news:
Although MAC is possible to match, it's possible that PHY part is much
different and that it won't work at all ;-(
We'll keep you posted if we get something useful, until then Sam has the
key...
