[Bug 521967] Re: support for new atheros wifi chipset - AR2427/ath9k

[Rolf Leggewie]

** Description changed:

  asus has released a number of new pinetrail-based netbooks like the
  1001p and 1005p that have a wifi chipset that still lacks OOTB support
  in all Ubuntu kernels.  An upstream patch is available and I think it
  would be very important to have proper support for these netbooks' wifi
  in lucid.  Users currently need to resort to ndiswrapper.
  
  discussion upstream:

  patch to cherry-pick:
