Bug Description
Jockey tries to load ath_pci on Acer Aspire One system, even though ath5k is loaded at boot. If allowed, jockey will load ath_pci without first removing ath5k.
dmesg output shows that ath_pci fails to properly detect or configure this hardware:
[ 328.979229] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware revision not supported' (HAL status 13)
[ 328.979292] ath_pci 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A disabled
With the ath_pci driver loaded, no wireless commands work.
Alternatively, when the default ath5k driver is enabled, NetManager lists wireless networking on the menu (not selectable), and wireless connections can be established via brute force on the command line.
