The Atheros b/g wireless will be a short-term problem.  All of the  
other Atheros wireless cards are a/b/g, and neither madwifi, dadwifi,  
madwifi-openhal, dadwifi-openhal, nor the ath5k drviers can currently  
successfully initialize this card, because they all expect to be  
talking to chips that support a/b/g, and the lack of "a" support on  
it causes initialization to fail.
