[Debian-eeepc-devel] Bug#500187: wireless-key does not work on eeePC 900A

[InSa]

Sorry, I did not give you all info. I have an eeepc 900 and I am using
current sid with 2.6.26-1-686 kernel.

ath5k is already blacklisted.

I have purged every madwifi* packages and reinstalled madwifi with "m-a a-i
madwifi" but wifi still does not work.

I am not sure that is the problem. With wifi disabled and every ath*
module unloaded if I run "modprobe ath_pci" kernel.log reports the same error:
