[Bug 573248] [NEW] No ath5k support on PowerPC in lucid

[loyrirk]

Public bug reported:

Subject says it all. Since lucid no longer ships linux-restricted-
modules with madwifi, and the powerpc kernel doesn't appear to have
ath5k support turned on, upgrading would break my wireless interface
(I'm currently testing lucid from the livecd).  This is a regression, as
my wireless PC card still works perfectly under 8.04 LTS.

This bug is similar to Bug #463858, "No ath5k support on PowerPC in
karmic".
