[Bug 151600] madwifi no longer working in kernel 2.6.22-12 and 2.6.22-14

[nosrednaekim]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-2.6-amd64-generic

Running Gutsy AMD64 on a Acer 5050, and the Atheros card is no longer recognized by the latest kernels.
kernel 2.6.22-7(alpha 5) worked fine. The latest kernel, 2.6.22-14 does not work with it however.

the appropriate section of lshw is:
       *-network:1 UNCLAIMED
                description: Ethernet controller
                product: AR2413 802.11bg NIC
                vendor: Atheros Communications, Inc.
                physical id: 4
                bus info: pci at 0000:08:04.0
                version: 01
                width: 32 bits
                clock: 33MHz
                capabilities: pm cap_list
                configuration: latency=168 maxlatency=28 mingnt=10

lsmod | grep ath shows:

ath_pci               105392  0
wlan                  225736  1 ath_pci
ath_hal               219888  1 ath_pci

dmesg | grep ath shows:

[   33.639398] ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
[   33.640324] ath_hal: 0.9.18.0 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
[   34.104594] ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (0.9.3.2)

 I see here there  it is not a officially supported device, however, it
WAS working.

iw/ifconfig shows only the ethernet device

If you need any more info, ask :) Thanks!
