Dear Sandeep: Thanks for the information. The Atheros chip AR2425 (Rev 01) using ath_pci and ath5k drivers is working fine with Linux kernel 2.6.27. It will be a good learning experience to configure, patch the kernel on your system rather than just upgrading it. If it is possible, try reverting to the other version of kernel and then do the following: . uname -r . download diffs to 2.6.27 from kernel.org . apply . configure the kernel settings . build the kernel . power cycle the system As a system admin, we need to learn "patching" model than direct upgrade model. Good to read your mails and keep posting stuff. thanks Saifi.
