An apparently successful patch has been worked out upstream. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/22825/focus=22840
The concluding patch for 2.6.27 was posted From: Elias Oltmanns Subject: Re: [PATCH] ath5k: Fix reset sequence for AR5212 in general and RF5111 in particular Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general Date: 2008-10-29 13:25:42 GMT Maybe it also applies to Debian's 2.6.26? I can confirm that AR5212 doesn't work as-is on Lenny. I'm off to try rebuilding a Lenny kernel with this patch. Hmm. Maybe I should try an unstable kernel first. - Larry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
