Bug Description

Binary package hint: madwifi-tools

In /etc/modprobe.d/madwifi.conf ath5k is blacklisted in favour of ath_pci, but in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf (from module-init-tools) ath_pci is blacklisted in favour of ath5k.
This stops both the Atheros drivers from loading automatically.
