If the Hardy madwifi driver in linux-restricted-modules doesn't work for
you, then try the DKMS madwifi package in the PPA
http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu. Beyond that, you'll have
upgrade to Intrepid for better Atheros 5K support.

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:

I'd like to have working wireless in hardy, without having to patch/compile manually :)
