Bug Description
SRU justification:
Impact: Upstream 2.6.31.9 contained a patch that added a check for bogus EEPROM checksums to the ath5k driver but it seems to have missed the fact that custom EEPROMs might be different in size.
Fix: Upstream patch which was added to 2.6.32.4 but not carried over to 2.6.31.y adds code to query and work with differently sized EEPROMS.
Testcase: Bring up certain hw with custom EEPROM. Verified in the report.

Hi,
Please, can you tell us which is the latest kernel release that works?
And, also, please, can you try with last kernel version, which is located on http:// kernel. ubuntu. com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/ v2.6.32/?
Thanks in advance.
