I've been testing ath5k, and it seems to work fine on open networks
(no encryption). However, even a simple WEP key didn't work when I
tried it earlier this week. This was configuring wireless the old,
manual way with NM and wpa_supplicant stopped:
iwconfig wifi0 enc <KEY>
iwconfig wifi0 enc restricted
dhclient wifi0
I tried "open" as well as "restricted", and nothing worked. When I
switched back to madwifi, it all works, even with NM.
