yes there is.... i have tested on 9.04 9.10 and 10.04 and it works :D on my atheros....
look here i have used the trick and not madwifi .... http://nowardev.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/kubuntu-904-atheros- communications-inc-ar242x-80211abg-wireless-pci-express-adapter-rev-01/ basically you have to consume the residual voltage ..... to do this -turn off your pc -disconnect the plug :now your pc can't be turned on but there are some residual voltage (i guess) -now press the computer’s button (which should turn on your computer i guess this should consume residual voltage) -now plugin voltage -start your pc :) and your silly atheros should work again with ath5k. another way check if your atheros is supported by madwifi and download and compile them like i have written on my blog. -- Ath5k doesn't work anymore!
