All PCI devices get "detected" this way, simply because the bus allows to enumerate all devices. The atheros driver itself is part of the kernel-nongpl package, which is available for download separately |
I am using OpenSuSE 10 RC1 (kernel 2.6.13-8-default) on my Laptop. I am trying to connect to the network via WLAN (PCMCIA). I am using $lspci -v [...] 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01) Subsystem: Netgear: Unknown device 4b00 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 3 Memory at 22000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 The PCMCIA card is detected by the system but when the module ath_pci is loaded this does not work. $dmesg ath_rate_sample: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag. ath_rate_sample: Unknown symbol ath_hal_computetxtime ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_tx_complete ath_pci: Unknown symbol _ath_hal_attach ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_attach ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_newassoc ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_hal_computetxtime ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_dynamic_sysctl_register ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_hal_mhz2ieee ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_hal_detach ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_hal_probe ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_node_cleanup ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_detach ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_node_init ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_findrate ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_hal_init_channels ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_newstate ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_rate_setupxtxdesc ath_pci: Unknown symbol ath_hal_getwirelessmodes This should be resolved, particularly as this is not evident to the normal user as the card seems to be detected at first sight. Thank you
