Last (good) news (07.11.2008 - 22:16):

Steps:

- I uninstalled the madwifi driver.
- I removed the ath_pci line in the /etc/module file.
- I upgraded to Intrepid Ibex 8.10.

When I booted up, I noticed that the hardware manager detected my wifi
card, but I wasn't able to activate it. After googelilng a little bit, I
came back to the first thread I saw (that has changed since last time).

http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/atheros_ar5007eg

(sorry, still in French).

Someone added a new topic especially for Intrepid. Briefly:

- The standard ath5k included in the upgrade is bugged. It has been 
deactivated. 
- I installed the "patched" module (linux-backports-modules-intrepid) and 
rebooted.
- wlan01 was available then.

Conclusion:

> Move to Intrepid Ibex.
> Install the patched module.

Problem solved.

I still need to do some tests before closing this bug. Will do soon.

Cheers,

Sam
