Not at all! You've shown that this isn't a recent regression.
Well, this is what I get for using a machine manufactured in 2007. I suppose this bug went unnoticed for so long because development moved onto machines with other wifi chipsets.
If I had hardware to work with I could try to get it working. But I don't have any AR5418 devices.
I understand. It's old hardware, and not exactly common nowadays, so I'm glad you didn't simply brush me off by suggesting I buy a newer laptop.
This commit make it look like problems with AR5418 were known a decade ago already and never quite fixed:
Glad I was able to help a little. How should I go about helping test a fix? I've switched my T60 to Debian because I need working wifi, but I still have a ThinkCentre M92P running -current. Should I try finding a USB wifi adapter that uses the AR5418 chipset?
