I'll second that. The closed-source madwifi module module that traditionally powered Atheros chipsets has been blamed for some of the highest-ranking kernel lockups by <a href="http://kerneloops.org">kerneloops.org</a>. ath5k and ath9k have now surpased the closed driver in features and stability; I'm using 2.6.27's atk5k on my desktop. My desktop is finally stable, as a result.<br>

I'm bringing the Acer Aspire One running it's stock Linpus Linux in a<br>
mercilessly hacked up state. I think I'll be able to get it on the<br>
Library's wifi.... using iwconfig....<br>

The Acer One is an incredible netbook. I'm running Gentoo on mine and love it.<br>

If you get a chance to play with one of the latest 2.6.27 kernels, you might be able to show what the wireless card can do. The Atheros chip has a powerful output and unusually wide frequency range.<br>
