Odi's astoundingly incomplete notes
New entries | Codeath9k works in 2.6.29
Until now I am still using ndiswrapper on my MacBook Pro to drive the Atheros AR5418 WiFi. Simply because the ath9k driver still wasn't working correctly: the signal was so weak that it didn't connect with my AP in the other room.
Last night I had a quick look at 2.6.29-rc3 and the thing worked with ath9k out of the box! So really looking forward to the next stable!

Please note that Bluetooth HCI support has been moved from hci_usb (now obsolete) to btusb (if you build it as a module). This means that you might have to change your .config if you want working Bluetooth.
By the way: Thank you for your MBP documentation - it has helped me on several occasions.

----------------------
the ata_piix driver loads the HD correctly but not the cdrom. This also with the "libata.atapi_enabled=1 combined_mode=ide" parameters on boot.
- If I load the radeonfb module the framebuffer device seems not to be created. This could be connected with the intel-agp driver that does not output anything but "Linux agpgart interface v0.103" and so probably does not recognize properly the hardware?
thanks for any ideas and thanks for your great post.
