[pkg-wpa-devel] Bug#489920: madwifi no longer supported, ath_pci doesn't work anymore

[martin f krafft]

Package: wpasupplicant
Version: 0.6.3-2
Severity: important

wpa_supplicant: "madwifi" wpa-driver is unsupported
wpa_supplicant: using "wext" wpa-driver instead ...

ath5k is not yet a replacement for ath_pci, which is the most
reliable way to talk to madwifi cards. It does not implement wext
though, so wpa_supplicant has become unusable with Atheros chips.
