modules, I'll bet Andre will be able to load ath_pci.
So Andre,
Also rmmod and blacklist both the ath5k and mac80211 modules. Just
stick the
"blacklist" of both modules at the top of the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
like Mike suggests. It will look like this when you are done:
#
# $Id: blacklist 1568 2007-07-12 13:57:29Z zoz $
#
# Listing a module here prevents modprobe from loading it via modalias (only
# aliases from /lib/modules/*/modules.alias). You may still load it explicitely.
# We blacklist some modules becaus they may harm on certain devices or they
# prevent other modules from grabbing the device.
#
# Syntax: blacklist <driver name>
# See 'man modprobe'.
blacklist ath5k
blacklist mac80211
...lots more stuff below...
I don't even want to play with modprobing, etc... Just reboot when you have
them blacklisted and then work through the install and test steps again.
Cat is now on the skinning table...

Would it not make more sense to remove the ath5k module and related
files, than to simply blacklist it? (Which frankly is what I did in
order to get the correct driver to load.)
