#163971 — AR9285 identified as AR5008

Hi list, 

So, here is the thing. My AR9285 mini-pci-e card sometimes identified
as AR5008. In this case wireless is not working. I believe that AR5008
is not supported at all, when AR9285 works out of the box and I didn't
install even firmware. Usually when I shut down the box, on the next
boot wireless identified correctly and works and when I reboot computer
it identified as AR5008 and doesn't work. I wonder why is this happen
and what can be done to always to use right card not depending on
whether I shut down or reboot. Are there anyway to force it in right
direction? Thanks.

I believe, that the wrong kernel module might be loaded. AR9xxx needs ath9k, 
whilst AR5xxxx needs ath5k. 

Maybe, there is a way, to make sure, that the correct recognition is done. You 
can try to blacklist ath5k or delete it. Make sure you have a backup 
available, of course.

Good luck

Hans

Do you mind to tell me how to blacklist ath5k? Thanks

Yes. Create a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ and name it ath5k-blacklist.conf
The content in it is a single line:

blacklist ath5k

There might be already other blacklist files in it, so you have an example.

Good luck!

Another question. How we can say for sure that ath5k is loaded for
AR5008? I looked in database of supported hardware for ath5k and
couldn't find AR5008. Thanks

'lspci -k' will tell you what kernel module is loaded for each device.
