thanks for your fast work. When I tried to auto-install this, I got:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of madwifi-
modules-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486:
madwifi-modules-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-486 depends on madwifi-tools (>=
1:0.9.2+dfsg-1etch1); however:
Version of madwifi-tools on system is 1:0.9.2+dfsg-1.
So I tried
dpkg -i --force-depends-version /usr/src/madwifi-modules-2.6.24-
etchnhalf.1-486_0.9.4-1~etchnhalf.1+2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.4_i386.deb
and rebooted after adding ath5k to my blacklist. I didn't even need
to stick an ethernet or null modem cable into my router, it just came
right back up with 2.6.24 and working wireless.
For reference, I have an AR5212-based MiniPCI card (PCI Device ID
168c:001a).
Thanks again for this quick response, and I hope this can make it
into etchnhalf!
Regards,
Michael
