See http://linuxwireless.org for more detail. i don't know how you come to that conclusion - ath5k *is* in wireless-testing and there are a few people working on it. bruno -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
