Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
The patch couldn't be cleanly applied to 0.9.4, however the tarball
compiled and worked fine. I'm using an acer 5050-3785 with the AR5BXB63
card. I'm using the linux 2.6.24 kernel, and have 64-bit support enabled
(Processor type and features -> 64 bit Memory and IO resources). Also,
this tarball seems to include injection support (which is awesome) for
those who were wondering.
I did, however, get a lot of stacktraces in the logs from dmesg.

If anyone is concerned with the above error message, you'll probably was
to know this:
grep -i sysctl /usr/src/linux-2.6.24/.config
{{{
CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL=y
CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL=y
}}}
Personally, I'm not worried about the error messages; the card works, and
that's what's most important to me. Thanks for your hard work guys! If
you think the errors are worth tracking down, e-mail me and I'll get you
whatever information you need.
