I do not have the problem with a belkin nik using rt73usb. rt73usb is for Ralink USB wifi. Not the Atheros wifi. This made me confused. Also, I do not have the problem with kernel 3.1.9-1.4.1 Here, do you mean the ath5k in kernel 3.1.9-1.4.1 ?

Yes, I inserted a Belkin usb nik (rt73usb) to maintain connection. According the the subject reported that ath5k is for Atheros wifi module, not for Ralink. If Ralink is working fine, doesn't mean ath5k should work fine. I am sorry, I am bit confused. I would recommend you can plug the same Atheros USB wifi adapter to different machine, install the same OS to test. I do not have a problem with kernel 3.1.9-1.4.1 and ath5k, just with 3.2.+++ kernel So the ath5k for 3.1.9-1.4.1 is working fine ? But 3.2.+++ is not, right ? The desktop is a test box, I can alter it for you but will need guidance. Yes, take the Atheros USB wifi module to test different machines with the same OS (kernel), look if it is working fine. :)

In the attachment, please remove them and rebuild the kernel, see if it works to you. If so, that would be a regression. I don't have the hardware to reproduce, and the device not is hard to find on the market. So it would need you to verify of the result that after removing the codes from patch and rebuild the kernel to test. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Tell me how to remove "them" (some calibration function ??) and how to rebuild the kernel or ??? tks, -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I thought you are able to work on git kernel tree. It would be some trick steps. I think I need to come out some ways for these steps.. btw, would you mind pointing out which website sell this module. I think of having this module here would be much convenient to debug. I have trouble of looking for it here locally because it is too old for here. :( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754360 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754360#c22 --- Comment #22 from Matt Chen 2012-05-04 11:56:55 CST --- hmm....poking the ath5k in kernel source is the way I worked. I assume you have experienced the kernel source poke. If so, then you should make sure installing the kernel-source package, then go to /usr/src/linux. It is where the kernel source is after installing the kernel-source package. Then what I talked the ath5k driver source should be in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k. Then you can modify the codes there, there are a log C files. Once you done the modification, then run the "make -C /usr/src/linux-obj/i586/desktop/ M=$PWD modules". The ath5k.ko should be ready after compiling. Then run "rmmod ath5k.ko" and run "insmod ath5k.ko" manually. If you are not experienced with kernel source code poking, that would be another way to work on it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
