>My initial suspicion is that madwifi attempts to initialize the RF MAC, fails, and leaves the HW in a state that the ath5k driver cannot recover from when next it is loaded.
Tim, from what I can see, ath5k is not on the machine by default and attempting to install linux-backports-modules-jaunty-generic complains that it depends on "linux-backports-modules-2.6.28-4-generic" which is not available. modprobe also complains that ath5k is not installed # modprobe ath5k FATAL: Module ath5k not found. >The proposed solution is to remove madwifi from Jaunty LRM and make it a DKMS package. I did not install madwifi on the machine and it does not come with ubuntu as far as I know. I attempted to download madwifi from universe repository and got the following error: # apt-get install madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698 Package madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698 has no installation candidate I will test compiling http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi- hal-0.10.5.6/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3879-20081204.tar.gz myself. -- ath5k driver on Jaunty Alpha1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306719 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
