Comment:
The madwifi-old-openhal branch is out of date and, to the best of my
knowledge, obsolete. You should try ath5k instead. But be aware that the
ath5k branch in our repository is outdated as well - you should follow the
instructions [http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k here] to get
the latest development version.
