It seems there's a regression in 2.6.27-3: module ath5k is loaded but no wifi interface is available. Even Jockey shows that module is in use. This is tested on an Acer AspireOne (it should be an AR5007). Who is on 2.6.27-2 on this hardware reported wifi is working on that kernel, so if you have everything else working DON'T upgrade to -3
