I agree, you cannot be marking this bug as "fix-released" until it works
out of the box.  If I wanted to use the Ubuntu live-cd for some computer
maintenance which required wireless internet access, I could not
currently do that because it requires a "blacklist ath_pci" which
requires a restart, thus making it impossible to do with a live-cd.
Please wait to close or otherwise say that this bug is fixed until it
works out of the box on all machines.

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 :)
