Despite what lspci says, the wireless you have is NOT actually an AR5006EG,
it is in fact an AR5007EG (interestingly enough, Windows XP makes the same
identification mistake). That is why it doesn't work; neither madwifi nor
ath5k currently support the AR5007EG. At all.
ugh
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.
*sigh* thanks for the tip, I do appreciate it.
So you did try using it with ndiswrapper? If so, I'd like to try that
out before I spend any more money, but I don't see AR5007EG listed on
the ndiswrapper website. Which driver did you use, and where did you
get it?
thanks
