I've just given the ath5k driver from current wireless-everything.git
repository a try, and it looks like it now supports my Trust Speedshare
Turbo Pro PCMCIA card. At least, I can scan for networks.
As I don't have a wireless router at home (and no neighbors with open ones),
I cannot try an actual connection.

$ git describe
v2.6.24-rc8-689-g40dfd0a

I do get some probably bad messages in dmesg though:

Still, definite progression over what we had in October :-) Thanks!
If you need any additional info, please ask.
