Need to install madwifi (madwifi.org), which is not provided with Debian.

Working network cards on Fedora 7 x86_64 (kernel: 2.6.22.5-76.fc7) by aquarichy (3):

I have to get new packages for the drivers regularly from
http://atrpms.net/dist/f7/madwifi/
to match whichever f7 kernel currently in use, as there is a proprietary hardware abstraction layer component that cannot be included in the kernel :(

The driver is developed at http://madwifi.org

Also, when I resume from suspend or hibernate, the wireless interface does not come back up correctly, so I now run this script after resuming:

etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
rmmod ath_pci ath_rate_sample ath_hal
modprobe ath_pci
modprobe ath_rate_sample
modprobe ath_hal
/etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
