[amazon-thor] compat-wireless ath6kl doesn't work, usb probe times out

Created by: steamp0rt

dmesg: http://pastebin.com/j89tSLY5

after doing sudo modprobe wlan (since IIRC compat-wireless compiles everything into a single wlan.ko), ath6kl tries to load, but fails horribly [43.537500] <6>ath6kl: can't wait for usb probe done. Firmware seems to load successfully (no errors), but that's it.

Done with commit 330321413b4770ecf73efb88d21aacb117ecaf92 this branch: http://github.com/MoreRobustThanYou/pmbootstrap/tree/firmware-thor

yes the internal wifi chip is USB. no i don't know why amazon would do that, perhaps because making weird hardware and software is their thing?

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
