Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686
Version: 2.6.26-12
Severity: important
madwifi source code hasn't changed in 18 months: works perfectly under
2.6.18-4-686, sets up wifi0 etc. etc. and yet exactly the same source
fails miserably under 2.6.26-1-686
lspci -v:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device
001c (rev 01)
Subsystem: Askey Computer Corp. Unknown device 7108
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 169
Memory at b8000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

/var/log/kern.log shows that - i _think_ - under 2.6.26 - that ath5k_pci
detects the device as phy0:

that's all you get. under 2.6.26... wait.... ath_hal doesn't look like
it's being loaded.... will provide further info in a follow-up report.
