Public bug reported:
Hi,
I've got a Thinkpad x60 using the Atheros AR5212 chipset and booting off
the ubuntu version 6.06 CDs. It should be supported out of the box, but
it does not load. The relevant (to me) part of dmesg follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel. [4294767.311000]

hardware problem with your RAM chips [4294768.381000] ath_attach: unable

[4294768.382000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled
-------------------------------------------------------
I've seen similar problems on the internet, save the NMI error - that
seems somewhat unique (and the reason for filing a bug). For what it's
worth, the card works great under windows.
Is the "HAL Status" a bug in ubuntu or the madwifi drivers, or would
that only be caused by a hardware problem? Anything else I can provide
that would help?
Thanks.
