I am trying to use an SR2 on a SUSE 11.4
system.
However, the module ath5k.ko, fails to load and subsequently Yast
complains
when I try to configure the device (I load ath.ko
first).
Here is info from Linux:
DMESG:
1047.203556] ath5k
0000:00:09.0: registered as ‘phy0’
1047.208224] ath5k phy0: POST Failed

Any suggestions,

As POST means Power-On Self Test, it seems as if your hardware is faulty. The
only other possibility is that the firmware is not installed, but that should
give a different message.
I have a couple of modules that act the same way.
They work with Windows.
The error -11 is a “try again” message.
I am currently modifying the ath5k module in an attempt to remove the POST section.
