Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686

On an IBM ThinkPad T42, the ath5k module does not appear to load
automatically on boot. Once manually loaded it works fine.

With assitance from Moritz Muehlenhoff and Bob Copeland (via the
ath5k-devel list), I realised the problem was my fault. The machine had
previously been an etch machine and had had the MadWifi drivers from
ethc built and installed, these created /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi which
blacklisted ath5k, causing the problem.
Thanks and apologies to all.
Cheers,
- Martin
