Panasonic N5HBZ0000055 802.11abgn Wireless Adapter Not Working

I got this wireless usb adapter with my new tv.  Thought it might be more useful for one of my home computers.  It is listed as being supported by the ath9k_htc module, but I cannot get it to work.  It does show under "lsusb" when plugged but the modules are not loaded.  When I manually load ath9k_htc no interface is created.  Also installed the "usb_modeset" package but no change.

There should be another wlan interface created in addition to wlan0, which is my rt2870 wireless currently in use, correct?

ar7010.fw, ar7010_1_1.fw, and htc_7010.fw also exist in /lib/firmware.

Nothing seems to work.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I have encountered the same problem and have also done the same steps.

Re: Panasonic N5HBZ0000055 802.11abgn Wireless Adapter Not Working

The device ID was recently added to compat-wireless using the following patch from #linux-wireless on freenode.net:

http://sujith.github.com/patches/wl/000 … e-id.patch

In your compat-wireless directory, do a 'patch -p1 < 0001-ath9k_htc-Add-Panasonic-N5HBZ0000055-device-id.patch' and then recompile, install etc.

So with that patch, does your card work ?

Yep, everything has been working perfectly. I have been using it with hostap and shorewall, so now my computer is functioning as a wireless router.
