Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since
this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work,
I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
** 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.
