Do you mean the unloading/reloading the ath5k module does not restore wireless?

modprobe -r ath5k will drop wireless connection modprobe ath5k; ifup wlan0 will restore wireless connection

cannot say if this works when "ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout" is encountered, but will advise.

then next would be a script to detect the timeout and initiate the unloading/loading and initialization of the wireless connection. I can handle the latter, how do I detect a *new* timeout?

OK, have written a script and added it to /etc/init.d/after.local

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #!/bin/bash

TIM=$(grep ath5k.*timeout /var/log/messages|tail -n 1)

sleep 600 TIM1=$(grep ath5k.*timeout /var/log/messages|tail -n 1)

while [ "$TIM" = "$TIM1" ]; do sleep 600 TIM1=$(grep ath5k.*timeout /var/log/messages|tail -n 1) done

modprobe -r ath5k sleep 30

modeprobe ath5k ifup wlan0 ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

is this sufficient ????

That should be if you start the whole thing with "while [ 1 ] ; do" and end with "done". In addition, it should not take 30 sec between the unload and the following reload. In addition, you have a typo in the load statement. I was merely asking "Is it necessary to reboot, or does the unload/load work too?" The reason is that some conditions in the device are not reset with the module unload/reload and require a reboot. I wanted to know which condition applied here.
