Goal:
to have Wireless Atheros based NIC run on my Sony Vaio

Background:

The computer in question is a Sony Vaio PCG R505-JL w/ slimdock. The CD-ROM
is broken.
I used a second computer and installed it on the second computer, then
transfered the
hard drive to the vaio.

This problem is not present on the computer I installed it on. The card
works Out-of box.

According to ah.h (line 84)  HAL status 3 is "hardware didn't respond as
expected.

Any more output/logs that are needed can be provided.

Thank you very much for your attention.
