Re: lockups with ar5523

Hi,

wireless devices based on the Atheros USB chipset are supported.

For these wireless devices, it is important to note that you need to=20
upload 2 Windows XP drivers, this information is in the INSTALL file:

---
Atheros USB adapters require loading of both the firmware driver=20
(athfmwdl) and the network driver (typically neta5agu).
---

The mention of "soft lockup" in 'dmesg' is generally a serious problem=20
in the kernel. If it is caused by DriverLoader, you could try with=20
different versions of the Windows XP driver to see if there is a differen=
ce.
