pci-pci bridge and atheros problem

[Evren Yurtesen]

Hello,
I am not able to operate atheros wireless cards with 4 port pci-pci 
bridge. They are detected but they do not associate and they do other 
weird stuff sometimes, like frequency not set correctly etc.

I believe this is a problem with the pci-pci bridge but I couldnt figure 
out what I can change there to fix this problem, or should I change 
something in atheros?

This is the databook of pci-pci bridge chip
