I can't believe this bug is already 4 years old. And it's only one file and three words missing per default!

I encountered this bug on 26th April when I was installing a new Ubuntu 14.04 with a friend on his old laptop, since he wanted to move away from XP. So this was one of his first experiences with linux, we nearly had to give up installing, because of the broken network connection. And yet after some searching it was only one (!) command which solved it for us: echo "options ath5k nohwcrypt" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ath5k.conf

So could you please fix this and add /etc/modprobe.d/ath5k.conf with "options ath5k nohwcrypt" per default!?
