For the moment, ath5k doesn't get connected. Seems like it doesn't see any
wireless points although they exist as I can connect with madwifi. In the other
hand madwifi keeps disconnecting for some reason. Holds the connection between
a couple of minutes to a couple of hours and then the connection dies and I
have to reconnect. This is with network-manager and a wpa2 network if it makes
a difference.

Anyone with a t61 got the leds working though on any of the drivers though?

Thanks
