What is the problem here? Why isn't this already an SRU? Upstream has
released a new version of the HAL, 0.10.5.6, which fixes this problem
once and for all. The package needs to be updated to it. There's nothing
more that needs to be said until it's in hardy-proposed, so please put
it there!

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

http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679

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