I'm changing this back to in progress. The bug is that the AR5007
chipset does not work, and that is still the default behaviour on a
fresh install. While a simple tweak is available to remedy this, the
user is not notified of this in any way. As such, the bug is still
present until a) the correct driver is loaded instead of ath_pci, or b)
on detecting that chipset, the user is displayed a dialog telling them
the tweak they must do - obviously not an ideal solution, but enough to
close the bug.

** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (Ubuntu Intrepid)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules

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 :)
