Can Anyone out there provide any guidance or references concerning getting the internal wireless (ATH5000_PCI) working with my Toshiba L305D? I have been goggling with no successful hits to-date. Otherwise I have everything else working. I have been able to get a Linksys usb network adapter to run (WUSB54G ver 4) but I would prefer to use the built-in.

The first step is the relevant lspci output.

Looks as if I gave some bad information as the kernel is reporting the internal wireless pc card is:

 ath5k_pci 0000:05:00.0: registered as 'phy0'

 ath5k phy0: failed to resume the MAC Chip

 ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:05:00.0 disabled

 ath5k_pci: probe of 0000:05:00.0 failed with error -5

 phy1: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'

ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.

 ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)



I'll continue to investigate since MadWifi loaded a number of Atheros drivers which apparently do not work with my internal wireless card.

Also, I'll probably put this in the "Too Hard" pile since I am a Physicist and not a Computer Science major!

lspci did not show it as being loaded.

Thanks for your advice.

Harry
