Status in MadWifi - Atheros Drivers: Invalid
Status in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
When I install Hardy fresh on my Acer Aspire 5315 laptop, the Hardware Drivers utility appears and lets me know that restricted drivers are in use on my laptop for my wireless. The wireless does not work at all, my wireless network does not appear as detected, although if I reboot into Windows, it's detected just fine. My wireless network is not hidden.

The integrated wireless card is an Atheros AR5007EG.
