Comment 18 for bug 228548

As far as I am concerned, I have no problem with AR242x on Intrepid. I use ath_pci and ath_hal. Driver was activated trough the restricted driver manager.

Arie, please try
* with a live CD of Intrepid and see if wifi is working or not.
* If it is not working with live CD, try using the package backports-modules-intrepid. It will provide the ath5K driver.
