Atheros releases ath5k HAL code
I wonder why they didn't release the code to the current
version...
That's easy. That's probably is what the distro they use on their test
machine has considered "stable". Here on my Gentoo machine(s):
qlist -Iv hal
app-misc/hal-info-20080508
sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r1
Would things work better if I unmask a newer version of HAL? Yea, maybe.
I don't know what could work better, though. All the hardware in
my laptop (HP-dv6871us) is recognised and running. Why would / should I
then bother at that point?
