Mandriva Linux 2009.0 (formally known as Mandrake Linux)Īth9k was announced to have been merged into Linux-2.6.27-rc3 by Linus on Tue, 19:33:16 -0700 (PDT), and consisted of 58.8% of the entire rc3 patch. Below is a list of the minimal distribution requirements to either use ath9k from 2.6.27 or from compat-wireless, which lets you install newer drivers on older kernels. The only driver, that worked for wi-fi is from Bluetooth looks as all ok even with default drivers from OpenSuse 12.2, but in fact doent working.
In case you use kernel 2.6.25 or newer, you need to get this snapshot of the madwifi-0.9.4 branch instead of the v0.9.4 release! That snapshot is basically v0.9.4 plus compilation fixes for recent kernels.Īny distribution shipping a kernel >= 2.6.27 will have ath9k present but the ath9k driver on 2.6.32 is the oldest one recommended, anything older than that is completely unsupported.
