My Acer Aspire One running Ubuntu needs that driver. IIRC up to 2.6.27, the |
| 8 |
ath5k driver was dodgy on certain chips but since 2.6.28 things are much |
| 9 |
better. The driver is in mainline as well so you should be able to just build |
| 10 |
it on 2.6.30 and have a workable system, without any need for the madwifi |
| 11 |
proprietary driver. |
