Neil Cafferkey is trying to make atheros based wlan cards to work with Sam series. If somebody who has a some knowledge of those boards could read following thread and maybe could suggest something to solve mythical problem?

Next step would be to verify that that your card is working 100% by testing it in a PC if you have not done that yet.
You can have a bad device and the normal device info still shows up in Ranger.
Learned this the had way with a PCIEx1 to PCI adapter.

These are the interrupt lines that I get with a pci ethernet card .

Multiple SAM users have the same symptoms when using this driver, so I don't think it's a case of a bad card. The driver works with the A1SE, Peg-II and X1000.

It looks like interrupts are not being received by the driver. Could an OS developer investigate if there is a possible interrupt configuration problem specific to these cards, or should I get in touch with ACube?

I'd also be interested to know if these cards work under Linux in SAMs.

If the two Sam 440ep-Flex users with the cards want to try to install linux and test the cards they can have a look at this thread.

It has a link to a custom install iso for the Sam 440ep-flex and some instructions.
The install worked for me when I put the iso together but I have not used it again for some.

Please contact ACube directly. If there is a configuration issue then Max will find it.
