sids madwifi supports my card (Apple MacBook - sorry, in repair so I can't check
which one this actually is) NOT supported by ath5k, supposedly supported by
ath9k, didn't try yet) fine.

So removing it (and not having ath9k) would be quite bad for people who can't build
wireless-testing themselves...

Regards,

Rene
