Hi Mike,

Yes, that's what I meant. Perhaps I was wrong about it being likely
for Intrepid then. I'm using BenC's intrepid-next debs, and so I
assumed that they were planning on moving to .27.

A quick search shows that you are correct. I'm sorry for spreading
mis-information.

It would be great to backport ath5k from .27, in l-b-m if need be.

Thanks,

James

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 :)
