Use a 2.6.28 kernel and enable ATH5K for wireless and ATL2 for wired.=


I'm using a 2.6.26 kernel without ATH5K enabl= ed for an Atheros wireless LAN card. 

I'm using madwifi dr= ivers straight from the madwifi project, and you can see my simple instruct= ions for installation at http://forum.sabayonlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=3D= 52&t=3D14920

This may not be as good a suggestion as the former, so I don't post= it in contradiction, but just as extra information.  My method works = with kernels at least as old at 2.6.20
