ath5k has never worked for me – until today. I installed
linux-image-2.6.37-rc5-686 from experimental & lo&behold
– it works!
that means I can say goodbye to good old (& non-free)
madwifi. but before discovering that ath5k works I
had already finished an upgrade of my private madwifi package
& it seems I even managed to build a madwifi-dkms package
finally.
I've uploaded it to my private repository for the poor
sods who still can't use ath5k :)& maybe the
madwifi-dkms package helps people who forget (how) to run
m-a after installing a new kernel ...
