Google is your friend. note that the madwifi drivers are included in the ubuntu-mobile image in the linux-restricted-modules package, but there is currently an attempt to replace the restricted madwifi drivers with the new ath5k drivers so these are included in the image as well, it might happen that during boot the ath5k driver supersedes the madwifi one, to work around that you can try the following: create a file: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath with the following line: blacklist ath5k run: sudo update-initramfs -u then reboot, that will avoid the usage of the ath5k driver which is broken on some chipsets ...
