It seems the fashionable way to handle this would be to get OpenHAL
working with EeePC and package ath5k with Ubuntu.

Of course that involves developer work and REing, but it would be the
best way.

The Eee PC has non-working wireless out of the box. A patch is available from the madwifi website:

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
