Hi All,

Greetings!

Has anyone been able to use openWRT on the Atheros DB120 board successfully?

I am facing issues with ath9k as well as ethernet interface. ath9k initialization fails with the following error during the board bootup. Also, ifconfig does not show any ethernet interface. Probably this is because openwrt does not have ethernet support yet.

ath: Unable to initialize hardware; initialization status: -5
ath9k 0000:00:00.0: Failed to initialize device
ath9k: probe of 0000:00:00.0 failed with error -5

When I did some debugging I find that the error code -5 is due to the fact that the EEPROM read did not return valid data (all zeros).
Also, it appears that the register reads are working fine. I tried to dump the contents of the RTC registers from 0x7000 to 0x7058 and they return some valid values.

Any help or pointers will be appreciated.
