experimental patch only (see #1679). Nevertheless the hint as such is
correct, this might be another case of AR5007 that gets misidentified as
AR5006 in lspci.

(This is a bit OT, since it's about >=AR5008 and not about AR5007/AR5006
mis)
I really appreciate all the hard work that went into the madwifi driver!
The driver was and still is one with the best support and hw-
compatibility! Yes, I have about a few hundreds AR5212 as APs and Stations
and they're still working great!
However these fine chips are showing their age and I evaluated these
yesteryears "next generation" cards... And BAAAM, right into the mess
(especially "AP-mode", since APs are based on ARM platforms). That's when
I got that binary driver
"ht_tp:/_/www.sparklan.com/download.php?support_id=163"... and finally,
with this package these fine cards don't **** anymore!
