[Bug 368440] [NEW] Instant crash when connecting to wireless lan, Atheros AR5416 chipset

[Jeroen Benckhuijsen]

Public bug reported:

I have a Linksys WMP300N Wireless-N PCI Adapter (EU-model) with an
Atheros AR5416 chipset. If I try to connect to the wireless network,
from a Jaunty LiveCD, the computer instantly freezes. Problems with
these chipset are present since Hardy, where using the SVN Madwifi
drivers allowed me to connect to my wireless Lan, though I experienced
frequent lock-ups of the system.
