Hi David,

The problem with switching to ath5k would be the loss of performance related features (compression, fast frames, turbo), and some required features (half/quarter rates are required for some channels on some radios). Also, I don't know if ath5k will work on products based on Atheros WiSOCs like Ubiquiti's PicoStation and Bullet. A lesser issue (more of a pain for me than an ath5k issue) is that I have some platforms that use an older kernel and moving up to a newer kernel will have to be done without hardware vendor support.

and that is exactly not a valid point to include MadWifi into the
staging tree. If you are running older kernels, the staging tree doesn't
help you at all.

True. I happen to agree that Madwifi shouldn't go into staging. I would rather see the features I noted ported into ath5k. Thanks!
