Problem compiling ath5k
Hello to the list,
I'd like to try the ath5k kernel module for my Atheros AR2413 Wireless Card so I downloaded the compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
I'm running a 2.6.24.2 kernel (the laste stable),
but the compile stage ends immediately:

I'm missing linux/pm_qos_params.h
Where can I get it?
The directory /usr/include is a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include
Thank you in advance for any advice.
Best regards,
Fabio

I'm running a 2.6.24.2 kernel (the laste stable),
but the compile stage ends immediately:I simply removed ipw2100 from config.mk (I think that was the name ..) in order to skip the build of ipw2100.ko which is ok since I was just interested in the ath5k driver. All other drivers built correctly then.
OK,
now the driver compile and load without any problem and the wlan0 and master0 devices are created.
There are no error in dmesg, but I can't scan for stations, iwlist wlan0 scan
says there are no active stations.
Do I need extra modules for scanning?
I'm using an Atheros AR2413, is this device supposed to work with the ath5k module?
Thank you in advance for any help,
regards,
Fabio

These issues are being addressed with ipw, essentially we need some items ported over.

You need to turn your interface up first:
ip link set wlan0 up
Or
ifconfig wlan0 up

That's exactly the situation that I do encounter myself because I'm using the same chipset. I have tried a preview snapshot of the ath5k driver which is not public yet, and for that one scanning works!
Where can I get that preview snapshot of ath5k?
I could test it.

However, data
transmission doesn't work yet. The main developer is about to resume work on the driver after a break since late December, and he has some pending stuff which needs to be merged with the development tree. Stay tuned, this should be a matters of days. Any significant update will be announced on the wireless list anyway. There are many people out there eagerly waiting for this to happen ...Cheers,
JF
I'll stay tuned as you suggest.
Best regards,
Fabio

The interface is up and running, but somehow it seems missing the beacon packets.

AR2413 is not yet properly supported in ath5k. The last statement about this is from 15.02.2008, where Nick Kossifidis said:
"Sorry for delaying the relevant patches, i'm working with the 2413 card i got from Mike to make it work and it'll take some time (not as easy as i thought, i probably miss something)..."
I am waiting for this PHY to get supported, too.
