Software Environment: 
Problem Description: 
WiFi LED does not function with the ath5k module.
Steps to reproduce:
Use ath5k on an Acer Extensa 5620z.

The problem is caused because the card's product and vendor IDs are not in ath5k_led_devices.  It can be fixed by adding the line:
  {ATH_SDEVICE(0x1a32, 0x0105), ATH_LED(3, 0) }
into ath5k_led_devices.

Hello Scott,

Thank you for this information.
I'm preparing a patch for you, but I need just some informations before.
Could you send the output of lspci -vnn, please?

As the subvendor id wasn't idenfied by pci.ids, I've used the vendor id found at http://www.modem-help.co.uk/search.php?id=PCI\VEN_1814%26DEV_0781%26SUBSYS_03021A32

Hello,
I was looking for this information about half year. I have Asus F5V notebook and got the same Wifi card (hex and name). In my situation hex is pointing at Atheros. I don`t know why, but there is no files mentioned in patch attach.
Can U help me with it ?

Regards Tom D.

Hello,

Sure I can help you, but I think here is not a good place for as this bug is related to a different bug and it is already closed.
Could you create a new bug?
I hope this is not a problem for you.
Please, don't forget to put [ath5k] in its subject. It will going to be easier for me (and other ath5k developers) to find it.

Best regards,

Tulio Magno
