Very good news...
I have tested with Ubuntu Hardy (amd64), it just works fine. Here are the
steps to follow...
1. First remove ndiswrapper completely
{{{
$ sudo ndiswrapper -e net5211
$ sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils ndisgtk
}}}
2. Build, install and load `madwifi` with the new HAL
{{{
$ snv co hxxp://svn.madwifi.org/madwifi/trunk madwifi
$ wget hxxp://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20080528.tgz
$ cd madwifi
$ mv hal hal.old
$ mkdir hal
$ cd hal
$ tar xvf ../../ath_hal-20080528.tgz
$ cd ..
$ sudo make install BINDIR=/usr/bin MANDIR=/usr/share/man
$ sudo depmod -ae
$ sudo modprobe ath_pci
}}}
From `System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers` enable `Atheros`
drivers, and reboot the system...
Have a fun...
