I have a few oqo2 units that I use for testing, normally using the dongle for ethernet connection. Well supposedly they have atheros wifi. in dmseg I see:
ath5k 0000:03:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ath5k 0000:03:04.0: registered as 'phy0' ath5k phy0: Couldn't identify radio revision. ath5k 0000:03:04.0: PCI INT A disabled
I press magic <fnc-?> per http://www.expansys.com/ft.aspx?k=119902 but NetworkManager is not adding wifi as a networking device. There is no file under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifc-* either. How can I get the wifi working?

Does the Atheros device show up in the output of ifconfig? ifconfig -a
If it does, check the output of iwconfig.
If neither of those yield any success, dig into the output of lspci for info on the Ath device. lspci -v lspci -v | grep -A10 -B2 thernet
with verbosity turne up another notch if you want more info lspci -vv | grep -A10 -B2 thernet

Only eth0 and lo
If it does, check the output of iwconfig.
And of course nothing here.

I checked in the bios that the card is enabled. The keyboard indicates that the function key function of the / key is to turn on the radio.
