Gutsy Wireless Woes on a PowerBook

[Jeff Yowell]

I have a G4 aluminum PowerBook with an Atheros wireless cardbus setup  
(Netgear card).  Ever since Dapper, I have had almost non-existent  
and at best flaky wireless.
I just installed Gutsy hoping that this time around, the drivers  
would have been improved on.  No such luck.

I have figured out that sometimes, if I shove the card in just after  
login, the card will be picked up and I connect wirelessly.  But  
that's hit and miss.  Works maybe 30% of the time.

I have installed ndiswrapper and Madwifi to no avail.

Anyone out there have similar hardwire that could help?

Thanks
