    :
    : I does the card in question actually work when the ath modules aren't
    : loaded? What is the card anyway? That error message doesn't sound like
    : one that would ordinarly be caused by an driver.

    "Card hs no functions" means that the (a) The bridge thought it was a
    16-bit PC Card (never true for atheros) and (b) it couldn't read the
    CIS. If it was only (b), that indicates a resource problem with the
    memory allocated to read the CIS. Since it is both, I'm not sure.
    Can you send me your dmesg boot -v privately?
