Hi all,
Is there a way to force the usage of a specific driver on a given device? Consider the following cenario: I've a wireless network that works with both ath5k and ath9k drivers, but I want to use ath5k instead of ath9k or vice- versa.
No you don't, that physically just can not work as the two drivers work for two different hardware platforms. They can not work for the other driver's type of hardware at all, sorry. Drivers do know what type of hardware they support, please trust them :) Now, if you just want to add a new device id for a driver for hardware that you are pretty sure will work properly with that driver, you can use sysfs to write a new device id to the driver so it can accept the device, but I don't think that's what you want to do here.
