Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I have a wireless card with the AR2417A chipset - newest member of the
AR5007 family. I managed to get ath5k compiling on my MIPS platform using
rev 2701 - btw in order to get all the symbols resolved for MIPS you need
to include "linux/delay.h" into all .c files that use "mdelay" or
"udelay", or you can put the include into ath5k.h. MIPS brings in these
two functions statically and there were a couple of .c files that were
implicitly defining the function since they were not including the header
file and that was causing unresolved symbols during my insmod.
After I managed to get the the driver insmod'ed it was not probing my
card. Turns out my PCI ID is "0x1D" and the list of supported ids in
ath5k_base.c does not include this yet.
When do you expect to support this chipset? Is there any information I
can pull off my card in order to expediate the process? I tried to
blindly add my PCI ID to the table to force a probe and ath5k_hw.c kicked
me out because of an unsupported "sver" (makes sense). I printk'd some
values during probing and here they are:
Nov 13 18:32:25 localhost kernel: SDG: Probing ath5k
Nov 13 18:32:25 localhost kernel: SDG: ah_version is 0x2
Nov 13 18:32:25 localhost kernel: SDG: ah_mac_srev is 0xf0
Nov 13 18:32:25 localhost kernel: SDG: ah_mac_version is 0xf
Nov 13 18:32:25 localhost kernel: SDG: ah_mac_revision is 0x0
Nov 13 18:32:25 localhost kernel: ath5k: Device not supported (0xf0)
Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help add this chipset
into the driver.
