Hmm, that's interesting, because with my Aspire One and the latest HAL  
I think it _does_ work for me with ath_pci, in managed mode. It's just  
adhoc mode which I haven't succeeded with yet! Thanks for the data  
point and config information, though :)

I will have a look to see whether ath5k can be made to work with my  
kernel (Xubuntu 8.04.1 stock), and try that if so, that might be a  
good idea since the site mentions that ath5k is where the significant  
development effort is now going!

Thanks again,
