Bug#552088: linux-image-2.6-686: ath5k phy1: noise floor calibration timeout
Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.26+17+lenny1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I have a:
[ 256.620087] ath5k phy1: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC: 0x59, PHY:
0x43)
[ 256.620091] ath5k phy1: RF5112A multiband radio found (0x36)
The module ath5k when inserted during installation of Debian 5 and
during boot does not function properly. The only way to do an install of
Debian 5 with netinstall is to install a base system.
To get the driver working is to:
rmmod ath5k
modprobe ath5k
iwconfig wlan0 rate 2M (both 1M and 2M work)
After this I can manualy further install the system. After a
Debian kernel upgrade the problem is not solved.
dmesg keeps on reporting:
ath5k phy1: noise floor calibration timeout (2437MHz)
On my previous Debian system I used the madwifi drivers without any
problem and could fully use this wireless card on all data rates.
As is stands now, this is for me a non-workable system.
With kind regards,
Dennis Leeuw
