Hi, I'm asking too to re-add Madwifi in a way or another, since the ath5k driver is not very mature for now. With my hardware for example (AR5001X+), using ath5k slows my connexion down to about 250/300 ko/s (instead of at least 1.6 Mb/s). With the Madwifi SVN trunk, the driver builds right on Debian's 2.6.29 and seems to work well - and if I understand right, the current trunk doesn't rely on the proprietary hal firmeware any more, then we should all be happy! Well, the only missing thing is an official madwifi release compatible with 2.6.29 kernels.
I don't really know the status of Madwifi, ath5k and ath9k (is madwifi-free about to be merged in kernel tree or something, even if there's two other drivers around here - ath5k and ath9k - or madwifi-free is only a half-step in the move to ath5k?), but I think that it would be cool to have at least a package providing a module-assistant source & friends - as madwifi-source was - if madwifi is not provided with the standard kernel modules.
