Exactly.
If you could make it public.....
I am taking even not especially about this device, but about ath5k AR2425.
My aspire one has several very nasty bugs, and little hope they will be fixed, and I blame no one for that, developers are busy, and load is high.
But on the other hand, chances I fix them are low, I already read whole ath5k drivers, and without documentation it is hard to see what it going on.
The only way out I see, it to load windows driver in ndiswrapper, pray that it will work, and then use mmiotrace to see what is done differently. I really hate going this way.
Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
