+ Karmic removed the madwifi driver, and now ships only the ath5k and
+ ath9k drivers for Atheros chipsets. However, module-init-tools still
+ ships a modprobe.d file blacklisting the ath5k driver (/etc/modprobe.d
+ /blacklist-ath_pci.conf). This prevents wireless from working by default
+ on laptops with AR5xxx chipsets.
