Okay, I think I have enough signoffs. Any opinions on dropping wlan-ng26? According to Dan, we still need madwifi, is there an Atheros user here who will fix it (apparently, a recent enough snapshot will compile). IMO, once madwifi and lirc are fixed and I got at least one positive report for catalyst for every architecture, we can move. intel-53{6,7ep} and martian are unmaintained closed-source crap anyway, I won't be held back by those.
Ah, and if anyone needs configuration changes or patches/bugfixes applied: I will rebuild again tonight, because I forgot to enable uvcvideo in the configuration, which is quite popular. So write to this list (or to arch-general) if you need anything.
report for my notebook: had to replace ath_pci module from madwifi with ath5k kernel module and change netcfg2 config for ath0 -> wlan0 change. works well here. running the catalyst driver works but i get a weird report when the module gets loaded at bootup: unknown symbol from dmesg: fglrx: module license 'Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY' taints kernel. fglrx: Unknown symbol flush_tlb_page -Andy
