I'm not an experienced programmer by any means so I'm not too sure  
about what I can put together here. It seems easy enough to do - check  
if its a 900a and then set pciehp_force=1 before loading the pciehp  
module or something along that way. It might actually be a nice  
project for a fledgling "maybe contributer" like me but I cannot be  
sure when/if I have Internet connection until about Aug. 18th - so If  
you don't want to wait and create a fix earlier than that I wont be  
upset. Otherwise I will work it out after that date.


I don't usually boot from the
> pre-ath5k kernels, but I can definitely do so for testing purposes.

True, I never tried this as well and in my opinion it's not really  
necessary because you should really "want" ath5k on the 900a anyway.
