Hi guys, sorry for the possible waste of your time. I post this just want to know the support status of two specific hardware on my laptop, I've googled but with no result.
First it's about atheros wireless card:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. Device [168c:0035]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at f4300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: ath5k
Kernel modules: ath5k
This card works totally fine, except that wireless LED on the panel didn't work. I know it's not a big issue, but I just want to figure it out. There is a thread in ath5k-dev mailing list claiming that it's possible to get it work through manually edit led_pin variable in base.c. However it's nearly a year ago and I now cannot find this variable anymore in current kernel codes. Anybody with the same card have your wireless LED working?
The second one is about finger print reader on my laptop:
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 08ff:2810 AuthenTec, Inc.
Thinkwiki.org said(also a year ago) it is not supported yet. What about now?
Thanks for your input.
