Florian, The driver has been in the kernel since 2.6.35 and there is no reason to remove it. It was broken around 2.6.37 for i386 users. So Maverick on i386 always worked. Natty(2.6.38) is broken. Oneiric(3.0) was broken and now fixed on i386 and x86_64 updated the latest stable kernel. Altho

The deadlocks in the 64 bit driver have been found. https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/?submitter=8383 I prefer to keep them in the next tree for now, hopefully, they will go upstream in kernel 3.8 As expected, the 64 bit v3.7-rc4-raring hangs without the patch; staging: vt

I have been doing some work on this driver recently. Patches to get this driver up and running again on x86 are slowly filtering down the stable kernels. However, the driver on 64 bit should be blacklisted, the driver does not work and will hang on probing. A patch to fix the hang has been posted
