The source code is released and merged into kernel 2.6.27: http://madwifi.org/wiki/news/20080929/hal-source-code-released
Try and see if it works. Blacklist the non-free drivers in /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi and unblacklist ath5k, then reboot. It's under development, but in the near future I'll expect it to work out of the box. Ath5k for Atheros AR2524 worked for me in 2.6.27-4 but is broken again under 2.6.27-7. Dmesg actually says it's under development. If the ath5k (or ath9k) doesn't work, then use the latest hal( remember to unblacklist it): wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz tar -xzvf madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current make sudo make install reboot -- Acer Aspire 5520 atheros wifi doesnt work (Kernel 2.6.24-19-generic) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
