I am going to be upgrading to Ibex tomorrow. And i am just wondering if the Atheros WiFi drivers work instantly or if MadWiFi or ndiswrapper is still required to get it to work. I am fine using MadWiFi the way I am now in Hardy I am just hoping for it to instatntly work! If MadWiFi is still needed can it be installed the exact same way?

Thanks for any possible help!
