What happens when you run "sudo modprobe ath_hal" by hand? Check dmesg afterward.
Ben, do you know what's going on here? |

I've noticed that on my system, ath_hal is missing from modules.dep for 2.6.17-8-generic (which is the kernel I'm currently running), but is present for -9 and -10. |

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-7-generic
I have a DWL-G520 wireless PCI card, and so do many other Ubuntu users. On Dapper, the card works out of the box. In Edgy, however, the card cannot be detected in the latest kernel. If I select a 2.6.15-* kernel from GRUB, it will boot fine and wireless will still work. This bug supposedly affects some other wireless Atheros cards, but I have heard that some Atheros chipsets still work fine (?).
Here is the log when 2.6.17 is booted:
[17179593.224000] wlan: 0.8.4.2 (0.9.2)

Under some circumstances, the ath_hal.ko module is properly linked and present, but not found by modprobe due to not being listed in modules.dep.
It's not clear how this could happen, since depmod is run both in the kernel postinst and in the l-r-m postinst. |
