My chipset isn't supported in either the madwifi or ath5k stable
versions.  It's a lot easier to do an svn checkout of madwifi than to do
the git kernel compile needed for ath5k.  That said, I do look forward
to the day when my chipset is supported in ath5k.  Maybe then, NM will
play nicely again.

Oh, and support for 802.11n would be really nice.  I know that they're
working on it.
