Comment ath5k wireless drivers on 8.10's array kernel (Score 1) 466

With my 900, i've had no issues using the ath5k drivers compared to the ndiswrapper method or the older madwifi drivers.

I've posted an update to the repository from the upstream ath5k developers. This is currently available as 2.6.27-11-eeepc

You may install this version by hand to test, as its not being pushed out automatically yet.

$ sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.27-11-eeepc

I totally agree.

Even though Ubuntu-Eee, Easy Peasy, Eeebuntu and others all sell themselves as a EeePC-specific distro, what makes them support this is the eeepc kernel itself.

It handles the wireless, wired, FSB modules, and other misc kernel enhancements in one fell swoop.

In other words, it is possible (and I personally recommend it) that you install Stock ubuntu then throw on the eeepc kernel afterwords.

After all, I wrote it :D
