I have a Linksys WPC55AG that is Atheros based and supported by the
Madwifi driver. Even though the module source package is in non-free,
building it is very easy with module-assistant which takes care of
getting the proper headers for your running kernel, configures them,
compiles the driver, builds a .deb package and finally installs it with
two commands.
After building and installing for the latest kernel Sunday evening, I
purged the old wpasupplicant and just used wlassistant from within KDE
to connect to my WEP enabled router. Smooth as silk.
Check out www.madwifi.org for more information.
