Hi, I’m trying to get an old wifi card (from 2015) working on rock5B
I took that from an old laptop, which was usually supported by default on linux.
Here I’m only able to see the card listed under lspci -k
as:
0002:21:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e07d
the output above shows the card hasn’t be loaded as it should also display:
Kernel driver in use:
A bit of research showed the driver for my card is ath9k
which is a kernel module usually loaded by default.
I haven’t seen any thing related to that driver either from lsmod
or looking at all available modules in /lib/modules/
( find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -type f -name '*.ko'
)
Anyone succeed in installing such wifi card? FYI I’m using archlinux, could it be kernel thing?
Any help appreciated, thanks
