[Voyage-linux] Error, no wifi: ath5k phy0: Invalid EEPROM checksum: 0x0000 eep_max: 0x0340 (default size)

[Joost Kraaijeveld]

Hi,

After installing Voyage 0.85 on a wrap board with a atheros ar5001x
wireless adaptor (lspci: 00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros
Communications Inc. Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01))
I get the following error message:

root at voyage:~#  dmesg |grep ath
[   23.581810] ath5k 0000:00:0d.0: registered as 'phy0'
[   26.260042] ath5k phy0: Invalid EEPROM checksum: 0x0000 eep_max: 0x0340 (default size)
[   26.260941] ath5k phy0: unable to init EEPROM
[   26.262342] ath5k: probe of 0000:00:0d.0 failed with error -5


I have googled and noticed that the error occurs not only here. But I
did not find a solution for the problem.

Does anyone know what the error means, and how to make this wireless
adaptor work with Voyage 0.85? It once (Voyage 6.x I believe) worked,
but somewhere in time it stopped working after an upgrade...

TIA
