Download drivers for many devices with Qualcomm Atheros chipset, for example Allied Telesyn, Belkin, Cisco, D-Link, Gigabyte, HP, Linksys, Netgear, Proxim Orinoco, SMC, and more. I still don't understand why and how it would mess with a physical device, but it did.Qualcomm Atheros AR5009 Wi-Fi Qualcomm Atheros site to a different name. My bug was related to Intel VT (Virtualization Technology).
wlp4s0: Limiting TX power to 20 (20 - 0) dBm as advertised by a4:3e:51:bc:bf:76 ath: regdomain 0x80fa dynamically updated by country element ath: doing EEPROM country->regdmn map search
ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a country code wlp4s0: authenticate with a4:3e:51:bc:bf:76 Most config files, like `/etc/nf` have exactly the same contents in each distribution, and I have a hard time trying to understand what is going on. The `/etc/modprobe.d/` is stacked with config files on the other distributions (mostly blacklisting stuff), but nothing related with the ath9k driver. It seems like only Debian and direct derivatives would be impacted by the problem on my machine. (currently : Triple Boot Debian Sid XFCE / Xubuntu 21.10 XFCE / Fedora 35 XFCE) I am now running a shiny new 5.16 kernel.Īs I was running out of troubleshooting ideas, I installed other distributions aside to check if my hardware is faulty, or if they would include specific configuration or hint for a fix. I wondered if my bug would be fixed in a recent kernel, so I decided to take a turn for the worse and upgraded to Sid. I tried to compile a backported driver, as described here : I’ve found this article, about replacing network-manager with `wicd` …īut `wicd` is not maintained anymore and has been kicked out of the debian repos.
I’ve seen a lot of forum posts about tweaking the params of `/etc/modprobe.d/nf`, especially the `nohwcrypt=1` param. Still having the wifi bug, but I could at least finish the installation.Īnyway, now I don’t think it could be a proprietary firmware issue, as the `ath9k` driver is included in the kernel
I tried another install, this time the dirty way with the non-free XFCE live iso (debian-live-11.2.0-amd64-xfce+nonfree.iso). I installed debian using the default iso (debian-11.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso).Īs I ran into the problem during the installation (unable to download necessary packages), I admitted that even if I was able to connect, maybe I was needing something from the non-free repos.
