I tried to add from madwifi and here is what I have so far:
uname -r
2.6.25.16-0.1-default

modprobe -l | grep ath

/lib/modules/2.6.25.16-0.1-default/weak-updates/ath_rate/amrr/ath_rate_amrr.ko

I get this error when the automatic updates are trying to load some security updates:

madwifi-kmp-debug-0.9.4_2.6.25.5_2-1.x86_64 requires kernel(debug:vmlinux) = 64ac872ac277057b, but this requirement cannot be provided

I will try to blacklist the ath5k and see how that works.
Can someone spot anything wrong? What else should I check?

That was all. I’m connected via wireless. Thank you all who read and who helped me.
