Thanks for testing uwe. So I believe there is really no problem with our
controller under Karmic. The problem is that we used madwifi in Jaunty
and had ath5k blacklisted to do so. When we updated to Karmic madwifi
were no longer there but ath5k were still blacklisted.

So I think this is a bug in the upgrade process. A possible solution
would be to detect the use of madwifi + atheros controller at upgrade
time and remove the ath5k module from the blacklist (or at least warn
the user), so users don't reboot to find out they no longer have wifi
working (or even worst in my case: to find out I no longer had how to
access the internet to find out a solution to the problem).
