Bug#586383: [lenny-backports] Atheros AR242x wireless card relatively minor issues with Linux kernel 2.6.32 in Lenny (ath5k driver)



Sorry, I just realized I didn't reply to the latest email you sent me (because your emails were in different folders). Do you want me to retry with the 3.4 kernel or is the 3.5 kernel fine since it's newer?
