Hi,
I just installed Slackware64 14.1 on a Packard Bell netbook. Everything works fine so far: wired networking, video card, sound, etc. But when I enable rc.networkmanager and restart the PC, I get a kernel panic, apparently due to the athXX kernel module, as far as I understand.
Here's the exact chipset of the card:
Code:
[root@slackbox:~] # lspci | grep -i network
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
I don't know if this is due to faulty hardware, or if it is just badly supported.
Any suggestions?
