That is why it doesn't work; neither madwifi nor ath5k currently support the AR5007EG. At all.
<br><br>I managed to 'fix' it by waltzing down to the nearby computer store and buying a wireless PCMCIA card, because madwifi and ath5k won't work, and ndiswrapper with this chipset is horribly unpredictable.
