Hello,
the solution is as simple as it was discussed here. By compiling madwifi
without compression capabilities the routerstation booted nicely with 2 atheros
cards.
I assume that the hardware compression engine doesn't work together with 4byte
DMA transactions which had to be comfigured to get the old a/b/g atheros chips
on AR71xx
I attached a patch which makes compression an optional parameter in menuconfig.
