After one month of using ath5k, here are some more informations. The version I use is included in backports modules on intrepid: 2.6.27.10.13
* still have errors in dmesg
* link speed always of 1Mb/sec though it should be 54
* at home: WEP 128: link quality varies though always used under the same conditions
* at university: WPA2, PAP
* detect networks correctly, but is not always able to get an IP
* frequent breakage; sometimes a power off / power on is required because the hardware can not be reseted (message from dmesg)
* even freeze (kernel hang?) are experienced since a few days: the computer is completely blocked, I need to press the power button and reboot.
If any other information is required I will provide them.
Thanks,
