** Description changed:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.26-5-generic
lsb_release -rd:
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
I have a Netgear WPN311 wireless PCI card installed in my computer. It
was previously working on Ubuntu 8.04 with the old madwifi driver.
Since upgrading to 8.10 alpha4 I noticed that the wireless driver has
been switched to the new ath5k driver. This driver seems to incorrectly
identify the wireless chipset, since "sudo lspci -vvnn" is identifying
"AR5212" for the chipset while reading /var/log/dmesg seems to identify
the chipset as AR2414.

+ Excerpt from dmesg:
+
+ [ 15.471758] ath5k_pci 0000:04:01.0: registered as 'phy0'
+ [ 15.564190] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'pid'
+ [ 16.438451] ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2414 chip found (MAC: 0x79, PHY: 0x45)
+
+ Excerpt from lspci:
+
+ 04:01.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc.
+ AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor [168c:0013] (rev 01)
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
