As this bug was never fixed in Dapper (LTS anyone?), I freshly installed Edgy. However, with the madwifi-ng driver present there, my Wifi card with following ID did not even work:

$ lspci -n | grep $(lspci | grep -i atheros | cut -f1 -d' ') | cut -f3 -d' '

I have three computers using the same Wifi card. Not expecting this bug ever getting fixed, I bought three new wireless cards with a Ralink chip that feature an open source driver. My wireless woes are gone now, however, I am very unhappy about the state of how critical bugs are (not) handled in Ubuntu.
