To make the ath5k module from the LBM work you need to blacklist the others (ath_pci and ath_hal) and make sure ath5k is not blacklisted anywhere. Community solution was posted on the wiki here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros And on the forums. And really people, "ubuntu-devel" and "kernel-team lists" are not something you can call "public". They don't show up on google searches, they don't show up for the end user (if they even are accessible by the end-user). If you want to make something public, right now Ubuntu seems to have JUST the forums. Maybe this is something that should be thought out better, but right now if you want to make something public, simple information like "your wifi will certainly break after this upgrade, please install package X", you *need to post in the forums*, preferably making a sticky out of it. ---> I strongly agree with Paul O'Keefe and Willem2k, *this was not publicized enough.* -- Disabling ath5k in 2.6.27 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288148 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
