[Soekris] 4526 With 2.6 kernel,new atheros mini pci

[Joshua ChaitinPollak]

We run 4526's with Wistron CM9 Atheros chipsets with Linux 2.6 and  
the MadWifi drivers and we don't have any problems. Sorry, that's not  
helpful diagnosing the problem, but it does seem to work ok. We have  
had 4 or 5 of the Wistron's fail out of about 70 thought, usually  
after a month of operation.
