Apologies for the typos in the previous post.

It will be really nice when the new ath5k driver is made to work. I guess many
have atheros based wireless cards and even though some people have had the
MADWIFI driver working others, myself included, have not. So an in kernel driver
for these chipsets would be even better - and at this stage a significant
proportion of available wireless chipsets would be easy to get working. I
believe that wireless access was one of the original goals for F7 - and it looks
like at clean install F8 may have achieved this aim.
