Bug Description

Intrepid still does not support the Atheros AR5007EG wireless card. The madwifi drivers don't seem to work with this particular chipset. However, there is a fix here: http://madwifi.org/ticket/1192

Would it be possible to patch current madwifi drivers to include this support?

Confirmed. I thought it might be important to note that this is a bug that not only Asus eeePC systems and that it continues to exist in Intrepid. However, it is probably best to just use the original report.
