atheros atk_htc module not working on kernel 3.0 mga2

i have firmware ar9271.fw for ath9k_htc on kernel 2.6.38.8 working without problems

Why don't you do a bugreport? But therefor you need to supply more information than "not working".

for solved i have download from compat-wireless the firmware new
before http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/ download compat-wireless-3.0-2.tar.bz2
$ wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/com ... -2.tar.bz2

$ tar xjvf compat-wireless-3.0-2.tar.bz2

$ cd compat-wireless-*
$ ./scripts/driver-select - it

and later make this comands:

$ ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc

$ make

# make install

# make unload

# make load

last step download the firmwares http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc ... tc_9271.fw and ar9271.fw and put to /lib/firmware/ and overwriting the exiting files with new firmware patched for linux 3.0

i have make this http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat- ... le/v3.0.0/ this is mirror exact

/boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-desktop-1.mga2 this is for mageia compat-wireless-3.0-stable/v3.0.0/

The above part is useless as you are esentially re-installing wireless code from kernel-3.0 on a 3.0 kernel, so no change...

This is the part that really fixed the issue. a newer version of the firmware was needed.

I'll update kernel-firmware-extra tonight to get the needed firmwares on the cauldron mirrors.
