[Debian-eeepc-devel] madwifi or ath5k in function.sh

Please somebody update functions.sh while eeepc-acpi-scripts is at 
present uncompatible with ath5k.
I am sorry I do not know the way to do it. Below is the suggestion I 
made and which works perfectly on my 701 with last compat-wireless-old. 
It just detects if madwifi is installed on the machine and select the 
right if device and module.

Thanks, kind regards
