There wasn't much need to do that. The in-tree ath5k driver is now proving to be stable.

Quite right. ath5k and the new ath9k are where the real action is, and they have been done in order that the binary-only HAL might be avoided. In fact, madwifi project is involved in all three, though the serious effort is apparently going into the in-tree drivers. They were just stuck with Atheros' decision about the proprietary HAL because of radio regulations, and the madwifi code was designed to work with the Atheros HAL. They're a good example, I think, of how solutions can be found to proprietary binary sections (as opposed to certain other binary-only "benefactors" of the community).

Well it wasn't stable enough to make it into Ubuntu 8.10, so I tossed the hardware.

The environment thanks you. We could always use some more e-waste!

I've heard plenty of stupid proposals in my time, but keeping unworking peripherals in my laptop due to environmental concerns is in the 99th percentile of stupid.

Instead of tossing it away, how about giving/selling it to someone who could use it?
