Comment (by genewitch <at> gmail.com):

 had been trying all day; real quick synopsis of what i did to get my
 atheros 5007 to work on an acer laptop
 x86 32bit kernel ubuntu 8.04(hardy heron)

 System - Administration - Hardware drivers -> unchecked atheros HAL. left
 support for atheros cards on. rebooted.

 downloaded, from the link above: madwifi-
 hal-0.10.5.6-r3835-20080801.tar.gz[[BR]]

 tar xvf madwifi-hal*.gz[[BR]]

 cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3835-20080801[[BR]]

 make[[BR]]

 make install[[BR]]

 rmmod ath_pci[[BR]]

 rmmod ath_hal[[BR]]

 shutdown -r now[[BR]]

 Upon reboot, card was working perfectly, and even drops into monitor mode
 perfectly!

 Thanks a ton, guys!
