Hi, I'm running 2.6.35, and my wireless card fails to initialize properly on
boot. I get the following messages in dmesg:
[ 0.866525] ath5k 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
[ 0.866536] ath5k 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64

That said, if I remove the ath5k module, and modprobe ath5k, it starts
working.

Is this a known issue?

Did you enable fips mode?

Presuming the answer is yes, you need this patch (available in 2.6.36-rc1):
commit 3473187d2459a078e00e5fac8aafc30af69c57fa
Author: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
Date: Wed Jul 7 15:07:49 2010 -0400
mac80211: remove wep dependency
The current mac80211 code assumes that WEP is always available. If WEP
fails to initialize, ieee80211_register_hw will always fail.
In some cases (e.g. FIPS certification), the cryptography used by WEP is
unavailable. However, in such cases there is no good reason why CCMP
encryption (or even no link level encryption) cannot be used. So, this
patch removes mac80211's assumption that WEP (and TKIP) will always be
available for use.

I don't even know what that is, so no. At least I didn't do it. if wicd did,
then yes.

In any case, wep failed to init for some reason and the prevents
device registration. You need the patch I referenced earlier.
