Hi,
I purchased a Compaq Pressario A900ED notebook and installed fedora 8. 
Internet  connection with the network cable plugged in works fine. There 
is however no chance to make the wireless network card work (Atheros 
Communications Inc. AR5006EG). This card isn't supported by Madwifi 
driver ath5k. A patch should make this driver work, but when I install 
this patch, packeged by T. Chung 
(http://tchung.fedorapeople.org/madwifi/ar2425/) I can't boot anymore: 
it keeps hanging during the boot.
Does someone have a better experience with this wireless card? Anyone 
got this card going with  ndiswrapper?
Peter
