Hello,
I am not able to operate atheros wireless cards with 4 port pci-pci
bridge. They are detected but they do not associate and they do other
weird stuff sometimes, like frequency not set correctly etc.
I believe this is a problem with the pci-pci bridge but I couldnt figure
out what I can change there to fix this problem, or should I change
something in atheros?
This is the databook of pci-pci bridge chip
