Ath9k not loaded. IRQ conflict or so?

[mazak]

Hello everybody.
I recently installed Dreamlinux on pendrive.
Want to use it in PC with ITX format mainboard - exactly Zoran G41- ITX.
But I have problem with wireless card.
It is on PCIe bus, and maybe that*s why it is an issue.
I found that when I switch the audio at all in BIOS, looks working fine in Win 7.
On that system WIFI card was on the same IRQ with Bridge and audio(16)

But I belive linux does not looking too much to BIOS.
I found that for my card Atheros 9285 in Dreamlinux must start Ath9k module.
But it doesn't .
When I do:
modprobe ath9k
it is loading , but don't know how to add it to startup.
After inserting it manually still nothing in :
iwconfig .... no wireless card at all

Thanks for reading and advices.

Try booting with pci=noacpi kernel option
Read and analyze your dmesg, then google, google, google

Hi.
I tried:
pci=noacpi
acpi=off
acpi=noirq
and everytime still not loading module athk9.
And device visible when "lspci"

I tried on live session, cos on installed I didn't found menu.lst to add any of this option, and I was looking on google, so anybody know how dreamlinux is booting?
I belive it is grub, so there are some files in /boot/grub

Thanks for any advice.

I tried solution from that link above but have error when "make":
.../arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu: No such file or directory
make[1]:***No rule to make target ' /usr/scr/linux-headers-3.1.1-dream-3/arch/x86/Makefile_32.cpu'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/scr/linux-headers-3.1.1-dream-3'
make: *** [modules] Eroor 2

Can anybody help?
What to do with this:

"You should use "ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/" to see where the "build"
symlink points to."

in that link: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.d ... tudio/3050
I belive I am close, but need some help.

I gave that dreamlinux a try, and found that kernel 3.1.1-dream-3 config is missing an option:
# CONFIG_ATH9K_PCI is not set
This option has been introduced quite recently. If one does 'make oldconfig' from older kernel version, he/she will get this. No wonder the card doesn't work at all.

So is it any other way to fix it than recompile image?

[blondquirk]

If there is no updated kernels in dreamlinux repo, I'd suggest installing clean linux-image from debian wheezy repositories
