Quick update.

Just tested with upstream 2.6.26-rc9 kernel and ath5k. Only in a normal 
system, not the installer.

Some previously failing scenarios now work, and WEP works as well.

Impression is that the behavior of the ath5k driver is a lot more 
consistent now with what netcfg expects and that the installer may well 
work a lot better for me now. That's next on the agenda.

Both Glenn and I still feel that there is a lot of room for improvement in 
the general structure of wireless code in netcfg which should make it a 
lot less susceptible to deviations in behavior between drivers.
