i got a laptop with built-in Atheros 5007 wireless LAN (AR2425 chips). and the driver came with ubuntu is not working at all. i also tried ndiswrapper that works but causing a lot of crash. so, after google a lot i found many (somewhat outdated) solutions to make this wireless works but not working anymore...
until i found a ticket at madwifi, then follow this guide. but it's so very long conversation to digest...
so, here i try to summarize it in case i need to repeat the whole steps:
that's all it. now i can use the wifi from ubuntu 8.04 hardy.
(it should also works on all other linux distros).
update: reports said it also works on ubuntu 8.10 intrepid.
