"I also need to get this working and would prefer not to use ndiswrapper. I have the Asus 1005PE which uses AR2427 chipset. I compiled the ath5k ok, and can modprobe it without an error, but the device is simply not seen, nothing in ifconfig, nothing in iwconfig and as far as I can tell, nothing pertaining to the wifi chip in dmesg after boot. ath5k is not blacklisted.
