2008-10-05 22:42:26 Daniel Miles linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24: status Fix Released In Progress
2008-10-05 22:42:26 Daniel Miles linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24: statusexplanation This works with 2.6.27 kernels from reading the most recent posts. I'm changing this back to in progress. The bug is that the AR5007 chipset does not work, and that is still the default behaviour on a fresh install. While a simple tweak is available to remedy this, the user is not notified of this in any way. As such, the bug is still present until a) the correct driver is loaded instead of ath_pci, or b) on detecting that chipset, the user is displayed a dialog telling them the tweak they must do - obviously not an ideal solution, but enough to close the bug.

A newer version of upstream ath5k is available in linux-backports-modules. Please use that. The in-kernel version of ath5k has been disabled (bug 288148).

Beyond that, you'll have upgrade to Intrepid for better Atheros 5K support.
