Good Luck ;-)


We spent sunday with our oldest son and his family, as we had promised
before your last mail.
I now went trough your steps and after 'Hell --- and reboot' I got this:
linux-zpoq:/home/andredo # lsmod | grep ath
ath5k 118532 0
mac80211 220568 1 ath5k

$%#D^$#EFE$%!!!

Alright, now we have to figure out what the module is and where it is
coming
from. Do this, as root

rmmod mac80211 && depmod -A

A quick google search suggests the mac80211 module is:

1. They are modules (drivers) for certain Broadcom wireless chipsets, and a
generic wireless framework, respectively.

2. Intel linux wireless??? see:
http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=mac80211&n=howto-mac80211

I think you may have stumbled across the last conflicting driver
holding us
up. It looks like you must have installed some other wireless package somewhere
in the past that loaded the mac80211 module and I didn't pick up on it being
some separate module that could be causing us problems.

Kill it! with the above, and then go rerun the steps in my last email. We are
slowly field dressing the cat as we speak. Skinning will start shortly.
