Hi Rudi,

Please take a look at the FAQ once again.  It says, "By using the
Vendor & Device numbers from an ID pairing, you can check to see if
your system contains an appropriate driver module for that particular
device" and gives you a command to run.

In my previous post, I gave you an example output from that command
run on my CentOS 5.5 box. It showed that ath9k is *included* in the
current [CentOS] kernel.
