Got another crash, although I barely use ath5k. I used to be able to
connect to some open wireless networks at home, now I can't but it still
kills my kernel once in a while.

I think that ath5k should not be allowed in the release of jaunty, since it so 
buggy and may crash the system.
I have had a bad experience with it already, when I could not install Ubuntu 
8.10 on a Compaq laptop. One had to blacklist it.
I will try to go back to madwifi. It is a pity, it is not open source, however 
it works and does not freeze my system all of a sudden.
As I figured from this thread 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489078, people do not realize how 
faulty ath5k is (blaming wifi card  and so). At the same time I think people 
here at Ubuntu do not seem to help them to point to this problem.
