The REASON I'm running the server kernel is that Hardy has a persistent bug in some systems causing random freezups...in my case every three-four hours on average. Proper bug reports have been filed by a bunch of people, myself included.

It's been a stone-cold beech to sort out, but one of the few cures known so far is to run the server kernel:

sudo apt-get install linux-server

Problem: when running the server kernel, my Atheros-based WiFi doesn't work.

At this moment I'm running the desktop kernel. And I get:

jim@thecritter:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

wifi0 no wireless extensions.

According to Synaptic, the Madwifi module is in the server kernel package I have installed.

Can anybody help sort this out?

Thanks,
