Re: atheros 5001x+ card (ar5211/5112)
This worked for me for a while as resume from suspend/hibernate was my only issue and I fixed that a while ago... but I am embarrassed to say I finally put the original Broadcom card back in, I finally got tired of all the Atheros tweaking with Intrepid. The last upgrade or two rendered my Atheros card "useless."
Knowing that since Hardy, Ubuntu has had issues ndiswrapper I used the Hardware Manager with the Broadcom (Jockey-kde installing firmware with fw-cutter): It just works. Curious.
After 2 years of enjoying out of the box Atheros performance in which any update/upgrade would leave it working this is my solution.
I have used Ubuntu since Dapper, so I know most of the tricks mere mortals (blacklisting ath5k, hand compiling madwifi and installing it again) would use and none of them worked to get the Atheros card working. It works with a live CD of Intrepid Beta...
