Rolf Leggewie (r0lf) wrote : support for new atheros wifi chipset

asus has released a number of new pinetrail-based netbooks like the 1001p and 1005p that have a wifi chipset that still lacks OOTB support in all Ubuntu kernels. An upstream patch is available and I think it would be very important to have proper support for these netbooks' wifi in lucid. Users currently need to resort to ndiswrapper.
