Comment 5 for bug 182489

For what it's worth, here's a list of steps I did to get the madwifi drivers working in Hardy:

{{{
# remove all linux-restricted-modules-* packages
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo rmmod ath_pci
sudo rmmod ath_hal
sudo rmmod wlan
wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
tar xvzf madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
cd madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007
make
sudo make install
# reboot to reset the ethernet hardware.
}}}
