Working network cards on Mandriva Linux 2008.0 i586 (kernel: 2.6.22.18-desktop-1mdv) by feraf (5):

Works perfectly after installing the 'madwifi’ module (version 0.9.3.2). WEP and WPA work also.

Working network cards on Debian 5.0 i386 (kernel: 2.6.30.3-feenics) by Amax (3):

Works by compiling the madwifi module – right now I’ve disabled it but keep it in system so that I can run some Live Distro CDs which don’t recognize my AR5416 card.
