For Hardy support, could some of you guys try installing a DKMS package
from my PPA at http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu ? There is a
madwifi DKMS package there that is based on the madwifi-hal-2008-08-15
branch from madwifi.org. Alternatively, you can build from my git repo
at git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/madwifi-hal-2008-08-15 and just install
the compiled modules (for those of you with Eee PC).

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 :)
