- madwifi is broken. Do we still need it? AFAIK, all chipsets should now be supported by ath5k by now. Can a madwifi user please look at this (Aaron, Dan?)
My card doesn't work with ath5k, i've tested module from 2.6.25 and now 2.6.26 from testing.

The AR5007EG card still doesn't work with the standard ath5k or MadWifi. That 5212 sometimes turns out to need the same driver. I have a page on it, (though your card sounds like another card) more Fedora specific but also works for Arch at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/rhwireless.html#5007 Though I haven't seen a PCMCIA card with that chipset, I do know that the driver has sometimes fixed things for folks having problems with the 5212 cards, so I really don't know. At worst, you'll lose some time, it can easily be uninstalled if it doesn't work. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: (scoffs) Magic!
