Hello,

inserting module ath_pci fails with "unknown symbol" during startup or manually .
problem occured after last (kernel)update 2.6.24-23 to 2.6.24.24.

Distro:
Ubuntu 8.04

pci identification:

dmesg |grep -i atheros
[ 27.300597] wifi0: Atheros 5424/2424: mem=0xf6000000, irq=17

lspci |grep -i ethernet
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)

In true this card is labeld by gigabyte and identifies as above.
Workarround is using the older kernel, for me.

Best Regards

I can confirm this.

This bug report was filed against an old version of Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this is still an issue in natty?

If you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you could update the bug
report in launchpad to 'Fix Released' if it is no longer an issue for
you, or if it is still occurring under natty, please tag the bug 'natty'
so it's easier for us to track.
